What’s in it

This bill requires that school districts and accredited nonpublic schools offer the pledge of allegiance in grades one through twelve each school day and display the United States flag in the classroom during the recitation. An accredited nonpublic school need not comply if the requirement conflicts with the school’s religious doctrine. A student shall not be compelled to recite the pledge against the objection of the student or the objection of the student’s parent or guardian.

Changed since by amendment H-1037; see Amendments.
