This bill proposes to amend current statutes regarding 9/11 Education Day by specifying that public schools providing instruction to students in grades 7 through 12 must provide age-appropriate instruction on the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, rather than merely dedicating a portion of the school day to this topic. The current language that requires schools to "dedicate a portion of the school day to age-appropriate education" will be replaced with a requirement to "provide age-appropriate instruction" specifically for grades seven through twelve.

Additionally, the bill includes an emergency clause, allowing it to take effect immediately upon the Governor's signature. The existing provisions regarding the State Board of Education's role in developing policies or rules for implementation remain unchanged. Overall, the bill aims to clarify and strengthen the educational requirements for 9/11 Education Day in Arizona schools.
