RELATING TO EDUCATION.

SB 876 requires the state Department of Education to establish a Korean Language Program in public schools and appropriates funding for this initiative. The bill directly affects public school districts and students who would participate in the new language program. Key provisions include mandating the department to create the program and providing dedicated state funds for its implementation. This legislation focuses on expanding language education opportunities within the public school system. (Note: The bill is still in early committee review stages as of 2025.)
