Bill overview
This bill aims to give students more control over their education by allowing them to opt out of classroom animal dissection activities. It requires teachers to provide alternative assessments or projects if a student has a moral objection to dissecting animals. The bill also mandates that teachers inform students about their rights, provide sourcing information for animals used in dissection, and ensure students’ grades aren’t penalized for choosing alternatives. Furthermore, it requires the state Department of Education to develop a template for notifying students of their rights and encourages schools to explore alternative methods to animal dissection.
