This bill prohibits public and nonpublic elementary and secondary schools from requiring students to wear face masks in any indoor or outdoor areas of the school or while on school buses. It explicitly states that students shall not be mandated to wear face masks, ensuring that the decision to wear one is left to the individual student and their guardians.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that while students are not required to wear face masks, they are still allowed to do so voluntarily if they choose. This provision aims to provide flexibility for those who may wish to continue wearing masks for personal or health reasons, while removing any compulsory mask mandates in educational settings. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
