Coauthored by Senator McIntosh
Summary
The bill mandates that every public school district and charter school adopt a policy providing a daily period for prayer or reading the Bible or other religious texts. Participation is voluntary and must be preceded by a signed consent form from the employee or the student’s parent, which includes a waiver of any legal claims. The period cannot replace instructional time, may not use the public address system, and consent can be revoked at any time.
