The bill, enacted as R.S. 17:17.8, establishes a new requirement for high school graduation in Louisiana by mandating that a one-half credit course in Health Education be offered virtually. This provision is specifically aimed at students who have been enrolled in a physical education course for at least two consecutive school years. The legislation ensures that these students have access to the Health Education course in a virtual format, thereby accommodating their educational needs.

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 provision reinforces the intent of the legislation to provide flexibility in fulfilling graduation requirements while ensuring that students have the necessary resources to complete their education. The act will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for bills to become law without a signature.
