Bill > H3958

This bill aims to provide religious accommodations for students at institutions of higher education during exams. It requires higher education institutions to make alternative accommodations for exams and academic requirements when a student's sincerely held religious belief or practice significantly affects their ability to perform. The bill also mandates that institutions develop policies to accommodate student absences for religious holidays or organized religious activities, and that they prominently post their accommodation policies and a list of major religious holy days. Instructors must include the accommodation policy in their syllabi, and the bill creates a permanent committee to work with institutions on implementing and enforcing the religious accommodations.
