Bill > HF113

This bill establishes the Student Religious Liberties Act, which prohibits public school districts from discriminating against students or parents based on their religious viewpoint or expression. It allows students to express their religious beliefs in homework, artwork, and other assignments, and to organize and participate in religious activities and groups on campus. The bill requires school districts to adopt a policy establishing a limited public forum for student speakers, ensuring that students' voluntary religious expressions are not discriminated against. The commissioner of education is tasked with developing a state model policy to assist districts in implementing these provisions, and with establishing procedures for reviewing compliance and addressing complaints.
