This bill, proposed by several legislators, outlines a new law that would allow parents in Minnesota to opt their child out of any face covering requirements enforced by school districts or charter schools. Key points of this bill include:

1. Opt-out Provision: Parents can opt their child out of the requirement to wear face coverings in school buildings or on school grounds without needing to provide a reason or any evidence related to the child’s health or education status.

2. Notification Process: Parents can opt their child out by notifying the school board, principal, or administrative personnel of the school.

3. Non-Discrimination: Schools must not discipline, penalize, or treat differently any child whose parent has chosen to opt out of the face covering requirement for them.

In essence, this bill aims to empower parents to make decisions about their children wearing face masks in schools, without any obligation to justify their decision.
