The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 1166, aims to amend Title 10 of the general statutes to mandate that local and regional boards of education implement later school start times. This legislative change is intended to enhance student health, academic performance, and overall well-being by aligning school schedules with research findings on adolescent sleep patterns.

The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but introduces the requirement for later start times, reflecting a growing recognition of the importance of adequate sleep for students. By establishing this requirement, the bill seeks to create a more conducive learning environment that supports the physical and mental health of students.
