Bill > SB11

This bill creates a new provision allowing representatives from certain federally chartered youth membership organizations to provide information to students in public schools, beginning in the 2026-27 school year. Specifically, these organizations (defined as those identified in specific U.S. Code chapters with an educational purpose and promoting civic involvement) may request permission from a school's governing body to share oral or written information about their organization during the school day. The governing body can schedule at least one time, potentially during non-instructional time, for these representatives to present information aimed at encouraging student participation. The bill defines "governing body" as either a school board for traditional public schools or the governing board for charter schools. The legislation also makes a technical amendment to update references in an existing statute. The goal appears to be providing students with opportunities to learn about youth organizations that promote civic engagement and educational opportunities outside of traditional classroom settings.
