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 an understanding of human relations, particularly with

regard to American Indians, Black Americans, and Hispanics. This bill directs

school boards to include in that instructional program information related to

understanding human relations with regard to Hmong Americans and Asian

Americans.
