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 repeals numerous existing provisions related to specific instructional and training requirements, including R.S. 17:81(R), (T), (X), and (Y), among others, which are no longer deemed necessary.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that the State Board consider the topics from the repealed provisions for potential inclusion in the new requirements it may establish. This legislative change aims to streamline and modernize the instructional and training requirements for educators and students in Louisiana's public schools, allowing for more flexibility in determining relevant topics for inclusion in educational curricula. The act will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for bills to become law without signature.
