Rep. Kimberly Daniels’ (D-14th) Florida House Bill 195 would require “each school district to offer specified courses relating to religion, Hebrew Scriptures, and the Bible to certain students as elective courses.”

The bill also specifies the allowance of a “brief meditation period,” adding that the Florida Department of Education “must include the courses in the Course code Directory.”
