The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 312 proposes several revisions to the education statutes, set to take effect on various dates in 2026 and 2027. One significant provision allows the Department of Education to approve supplemental literacy support products that utilize machine-learning systems to provide real-time analysis and individualized support for students' reading performance. These products must align with the science of reading and existing literacy curricula, and they should not replace core literacy instruction. Additionally, the bill mandates that educator preparation programs include a course on student behavior management as a graduation requirement.

Another key aspect of the bill is the establishment of an American Sign Language (ASL) education working group, which will consist of representatives from various state departments and organizations, including ASL instructors. This group is tasked with providing recommendations on curriculum guidance, teacher certification standards, and educational incentives for ASL instruction. The Department of Education is also required to issue guidance to local and regional boards of education regarding the implementation of ASL in the world languages curriculum by July 1, 2030. Overall, the bill aims to enhance literacy support and promote ASL education within the state's educational framework.
