Parental Rights Legislation Considered by House

HB 1059 (Grall) would designate the "Parents' Bill of Rights", bringing together in a single statute the various parental rights that currently exist in law. The bill would highlight the role of parents by clearly outlining the rights parents have in the upbringing, education and care of their children. The bill is poised for a vote of the full House on Monday, March 9.

The companion, SB 1634 (Stargel), was temporarily postponed by the Senate Rules Committee earlier this week; and therefore, the future of this FCCB supported legislation is uncertain and likely dead for the year.
