BESE: Directs the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education (BESE) to implement "Aliye's Law" and provide instruction to students on organ donation

This bill directs Louisiana's State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to prioritize rules for organ donation education if a related law repealing certain student instruction requirements becomes effective. It ensures that the board gives special attention to keeping organ donation instruction in the curriculum while also seeking input from the public during the rule-making process. The measure specifically addresses the potential loss of mandatory organ donation classes in high schools by instructing the education board to safeguard these policies.
