The bill enacts R.S. 17:17.8, establishing a new requirement for high school graduation in Louisiana regarding Health Education. It mandates that a one-half credit course in Health Education, which is necessary for obtaining a high school diploma, must be offered virtually to students who have been enrolled in a physical education course for at least two consecutive school years. This provision aims to provide flexibility in course delivery for students who meet the specified criteria.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that no policies or administrative rules from the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education that contradict this new requirement shall be enforced. This ensures that the virtual Health Education course is recognized and implemented without conflicting regulations. The act will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for bills to become law without a signature, as outlined in the Louisiana Constitution.
