Bill > HB96

This bill provides accommodations for high school students participating in National Signing Day activities during school hours. Specifically, students will be officially excused from class when engaging in organized events related to accepting athletic scholarships, committing to postsecondary educational programs, joining apprenticeship programs, or enlisting in military service. Schools are required to offer reasonable accommodations for these activities, which include providing meeting spaces with connectivity access and appropriate seating. The bill will take effect on October 1, 2025, ensuring that students can celebrate and formalize their future educational or career commitments without academic penalty. National Signing Day is traditionally a significant event where students publicly declare their commitments to various educational and career paths, and this bill aims to support and recognize these important milestones in students' lives.
