AN ACT TO CREATE THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER ACT; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.

AI Summary

This bill, known as the Star-Spangled Banner Act, requires all public schools (K-12) and state-supported institutions of higher education in Arkansas to broadcast the national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner," at the start of school-sanctioned sporting events and at least once a week during school hours. The bill aims to foster patriotism and recognize the sacrifices of the military in defending the "American Experiment." Schools can choose to have the anthem performed live by their own music programs or have it played from a recording that adheres to rules set by the state's Divisions of Elementary and Secondary Education and Higher Education, respectively. The divisions are tasked with promulgating the necessary rules to implement this law by January 1, 2022.
