What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires each school board to provide an instructional program

designed to give pupils knowledge of state, national, and world history. This bill

directs school boards to include the role of the Hmong in fighting for the United

States in the Vietnam War, the persecution of the Hmong by the Laotian government

after the Vietnam War, and the reasons for the emigration of many Hmong to the

United States.
