This bill mandates that the board of education in each school district provide an individual textbook for every student enrolled in classes that utilize textbooks. It defines a textbook broadly to include books, workbooks, manuals, and electronic textbooks that serve as the primary source of study material for a class.

The legislation aims to address concerns from parents regarding the unequal distribution of textbooks among students in certain school districts, which has been seen as a disadvantage for those without access to the necessary materials for homework and test preparation. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon enactment.
