AI Generated Summary

This bill, H.F. No. 1811, introduced in the Minnesota House of Representatives, proposes a new law in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 121A, related to education and face coverings. It requires that if a school district or charter school mandates face coverings for students, they must also allow parents to opt their child out of this requirement.

Key points of the bill include: - Parents can opt their child out of any face covering requirement by notifying the school's administration, such as the school board, principal, or another responsible official. - Parents are not required to provide a reason or evidence related to their child's health or education status for opting out. - Schools cannot discipline or treat differently any student whose parent has opted them out of wearing a face covering.

This bill ensures that parents have the choice to exempt their children from school-imposed face covering mandates without needing to justify their decision.
