HB 5868 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT ALLOWING PATRIOTIC AND CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS TO CONDUCT PRESENTATIONS IN SCHOOLS.

HB 5868 allows patriotic and civic organizations, such as Scouting America, to present to students, display materials, or distribute items in public schools. The bill directly affects public school students by expanding their exposure to these groups during school hours. Key provisions amend statutes to permit these organizations to engage with students without requiring prior administrative approval for each event. The bill focuses on providing structured opportunities for civic engagement, not altering school curricula or mandating participation.
