Requires curriculum or instruction in Italian history and civic impact
This bill requires all public school districts in the state to incorporate age-appropriate curriculum about Italian history and civic contributions into their education programs.

School boards must provide teacher training and materials, allowing schools to integrate this content into existing history or social studies courses. It directly affects every public school district and its students through mandated curriculum changes. The law takes effect July 1st following enactment.
