Introduced by: Richard H. Black | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE: (all summaries)
School board policies; equal access. Prohibits local school board providing access and opportunity to use school facilities or to distribute literature from denying equal access or fair opportunity to use such school facilities or to distribute literature, or from otherwise discriminating against the Boy Scouts of America, the Girl Scouts of the USA, or any youth group listed in Title 36 of the U.S. Code as a patriotic or national organization that desires to conduct a meeting or distribute literature, on the basis of membership or leadership criteria or oath of allegiance to God and country.
Nothing in the measure is to be construed to require any school or school division to sponsor the Boy Scouts of America, the Girl Scouts of the USA, or other such youth group or to exempt any such group from school board policies governing access to and use of school facilities and distribution of literature.
The measure tracks language considered by Congress in a variety of bills.
