Relates to requiring memorization of multiplication tables as part of the basic education program

This bill requires public school students to memorize multiplication tables as part of the standard basic education curriculum. It mandates that schools include this requirement in their course of study to demonstrate student competency in efficient multiplication. The law would apply immediately to the next school year following its enactment, directly affecting K-12 students in public schools within the jurisdiction of this legislation. The provision replaces existing methods with a specific skill demonstration requirement for foundational math proficiency.
