"Mississippi Open to Religion Act"; establish.

Summary

The bill would require every public school district and non‑sectarian charter school in Mississippi to adopt a policy that provides a daily period for voluntary prayer and reading of the Bible or other religious texts. Participation would be allowed only after a signed consent form that also waives any state or federal claims, and the activity could not be broadcast over the public address system or replace instructional time. The attorney general would be tasked with offering guidance, model forms, and legal defense, with the state covering any costs if it defends a school.
