Bill > HB05899

This bill aims to establish a state-wide later start time for public middle schools and high schools across the state. While the specific details of the exact start times are not provided in the bill text, the legislation indicates an intent to uniformly adjust school start times for middle and high school students, likely based on research suggesting that later start times can improve student health, academic performance, and overall well-being. By creating a standardized approach to school start times, the bill seeks to ensure that students in all public middle and high schools in the state begin their school day at a later, potentially more developmentally appropriate time. The bill appears to be part of a broader effort to support student health and educational outcomes by addressing the timing of the school day.
