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 is aimed at organizations such as the Boy Scouts of America and Girl Scouts of the United States of America, and the information shared may include how these organizations promote educational interests and civic involvement among students.

The bill introduces a new section, 118.065, which defines the terms related to youth membership organizations and outlines the process for these organizations to request time to present information to students. Additionally, it amends section 119.04 (1) by deleting specific legal language and inserting a reference to section 118.076, thereby updating the statutes to reflect the new requirements for youth membership organizations in public schools.
