AI Summary

This bill would prohibit pupils in any California public or private school from performing animal dissection in the study of biological sciences, excluding the use of fixed histological samples. The bill would expand the definition of "alternative education project" to include the use of three-dimensional models, interactive simulation software, and assessments of knowledge as alternatives to animal dissection. The bill would also require teachers to work with pupils who have a moral objection to the harmful or destructive use of animals to develop an alternative education project, and prohibit discrimination against pupils who choose to exercise their rights under this law.
