Mississippi Dyslexia Generative Artificial Intelligence Education and Workforce Development Act; create.
HB 1242 establishes the Mississippi Dyslexia Generative Artificial Intelligence Education and Workforce Development Program, creating a state-funded, open-access dyslexia curriculum and AI system for use in public schools, correctional facilities, adult education, and workforce programs. The curriculum, developed by Lighthouse Academy for Dyslexia and the Mississippi Dyslexia Institute, will be freely available without licensing fees to Mississippi public institutions while requiring clear attribution to the founding partners. The bill designates this curriculum as Mississippi-approved for dyslexia instruction in public schools and aligns it with existing state literacy requirements. It aims to improve literacy outcomes for individuals with dyslexia across educational and correctional settings through evidence-based, AI-supported instruction.
