What’s in it
AI summary School districts that give out ID cards to students in kindergarten through 12th grade would need to add a positive and uplifting message to the cards. This message must focus on the worth and dignity of the students. Schools can finish using their current supply of old ID cards before they have to start using the new ones.1
Read the official explanation
This bill requires that school districts that issue identification cards to students in kindergarten through grade include on either side of the identification card an eloquent, uplifting, life-affirming message that reinforces students’ innate worth and dignity. The message shall be substantially similar to language provided in the bill. The bill applies to student identification cards issued on or after the effective date of the bill. A school district that has a supply of unused student identification cards shall use that supply prior to complying with the requirements of the bill.
