Assembly Bill 9 mandates that public school principals, including those of independent charter schools, must schedule at least one date and time at the beginning of the school term for representatives of certain federally chartered youth membership organizations to provide information to students during the school day. This provision aims to promote civic involvement and educational interests among pupils, with organizations such as the Boy Scouts of America and Girl Scouts of the United States of America being highlighted as examples. The bill specifies that the information shared can include details on how these organizations contribute to good citizenship.

Additionally, the bill amends existing statutes by updating section 119.04 (1) to include new legal language, specifically replacing the reference to section 118.06 with 118.076. This change is part of a broader effort to ensure that the relevant laws governing school operations and youth organizations are current and applicable. Overall, the bill seeks to enhance the engagement of youth in civic activities through organized membership opportunities within schools.
