This bill amends and reenacts R.S. 17:6(A)(15) and enacts R.S. 17:6(A)(16), granting the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education the authority to promulgate rules that require the inclusion of certain topics in student instruction and in the training of teachers and other school employees. Additionally, it allows the board to perform other necessary functions related to the supervision and control of education under its jurisdiction.

The bill also repeals a significant number of existing laws, specifically R.S. 17:81(R), (T), (X), and (Y), as well as various sections related to instructional and training requirements, totaling over 30 specific provisions. The State Board is instructed to consider the topics from the repealed laws for potential inclusion in the new requirements it may establish. The act will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for bills to become law without signature.
