The bill amends the Public School Code of 1949 to introduce a new requirement for school entities regarding the availability of online curriculum information. Starting with the 2025-2026 school year, each school entity must post an Internet link or title for every textbook used, along with a course syllabus or written summary of each instructional course and the corresponding State academic standards on their publicly accessible website. This information must be updated within thirty business days of any revisions to the textbooks, syllabi, or course descriptions.

Additionally, the bill designates the chief school administrator or a designee as responsible for implementing these requirements. It clarifies that the new regulations should not compel school entities to infringe upon any copyright, trademark, or intellectual property rights associated with the curriculum. The bill also defines key terms such as "chief school administrator" and "school entity" to ensure clarity in its application. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
