The bill proposes a new provision in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 121A, allowing parents to opt their children out of face covering requirements in school districts or charter schools. Under this new law, if a school mandates face coverings, parents can notify the school board, principal, or administrative personnel to exempt their child from this requirement without needing to provide a reason or any evidence related to the child's health or educational status. Additionally, the bill stipulates that schools must not discipline or treat differently any child whose parent has chosen to opt them out of wearing a face covering.

The new legal language introduced in the bill emphasizes the rights of parents regarding their children's health and educational choices, ensuring that schools respect these decisions without imposing additional burdens on families. The provision is set to take effect the day after the bill is enacted.
