AN ACT ESTABLISHING A WORKING GROUP TO EVALUATE CHANGES TO SCHOOL START TIMES.

HB 5663 establishes a working group to study whether changing school start times across the state would be practical and align with the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendation for later start times for adolescents. The group will evaluate factors like transportation, staffing, and student well-being to determine feasibility. This bill does not change school schedules directly but creates a formal process to assess potential modifications. It affects all public schools in the state by initiating a review of current start times. The working group's findings would inform future legislative decisions, not mandate immediate changes.
