The bill amends Chapter 16-12 of the General Laws, which pertains to the "Rights and Duties of Teachers Generally," by adding a new section titled "16-12-3.2. Moment of silence on September 11." This new provision allows teachers in all public school grades to facilitate a brief moment of silence in their classrooms on September 11 each year, in remembrance of the tragic events that occurred on that date in 2001.

The act is designed to provide an opportunity for students to reflect on the significance of September 11, fostering a sense of remembrance and respect for those affected by the events. The bill will take effect immediately upon its passage.
