Bill overview
This bill, known as the American Sign Language Inclusion Act, aims to expand the availability of American Sign Language (ASL) education in Massachusetts public schools. It seeks to ensure that all students have the opportunity to learn ASL, promoting inclusivity and accessibility for students who are Deaf or hard of hearing. The legislation would likely require schools to offer ASL courses and potentially integrate ASL into other subjects. This bill builds upon previous efforts to increase ASL education within the state.
