Background:
S.B. 11 outlines the framework that a school district or open-enrollment charter school may use when establishing a policy to provide for a period of prayer and reading of the Bible or other religious texts.

The framework closely tracks existing caselaw on the subject and would require a consent form to participate.

Further, a policy adopted under this bill must ensure that an established period for prayer and the reading of the Bible or other religious texts is not in the physical presence or within the hearing of a person for whom a signed consent form has not been submitted.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that a period for prayer and the reading of the Bible or other religious texts established may not be a substitute for instructional time.
