Bill > SF0090

This bill requires Wyoming school districts to adopt a policy by the 2025-2026 school year that allows patriotic youth organizations to interact with students during school hours. Specifically, these organizations will be permitted to speak with students, distribute informational materials, and set up recruitment displays, with some important conditions: the organizations must provide reasonable notice before presentations, schools must notify parents about the presentations and give them the option to withhold consent for their child's participation, and the organizations can use school facilities for displays outside of school hours. The bill defines "patriotic organization" as a youth membership organization serving people under 21 that has an educational purpose and promotes patriotism, which includes 4-H clubs and several specific organizations listed in federal code. Notably, the bill does not require schools to provide equal access to non-patriotic organizations. The policy will take effect on July 1, 2025, giving school districts time to prepare and implement the new requirements.
