Bill Summary

Commission on Civic Education; website. Requires the Commission on Civic Education to develop and include certain enumerated items on a website. Current law requires the Commission on Civic Education to develop an electronic clearinghouse that includes such items but requires such clearinghouse to be accessible on the Department of Education's website. This bill is a recommendation of the Commission on Civic Education.

AI Summary

This bill requires the Commission on Civic Education to develop and maintain a website that includes a database of civic education resources, lesson plans, and best practices, a bulletin board for discussion, an events calendar, and links to civic education research, replacing the previous requirement for an electronic clearinghouse accessible on the Department of Education's website. The Commission, established to promote civic education and understanding of government, will now host these resources directly on its own platform, making them more readily available to the public.
