AN ACT relating to moments of silence and reflection.

HB 25 requires all Kentucky public schools to implement a 1-2 minute moment of silence or reflection at the start of each school day. This policy mandates that students may meditate, pray, or engage in silent reflection individually, while prohibiting school staff from instructing students on what to do during this time. School districts must establish procedures ensuring students remain seated and silent, notify parents about the policy, and avoid any distraction to other students. The bill directly affects all public elementary and secondary schools in Kentucky, adding a new daily requirement to existing provisions about the pledge of allegiance and historical documents. It does not mandate specific activities during the silence but requires schools to provide clear guidelines for implementation.
