Florida Authorizes Volunteer Chaplains in Schools

On April 18, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed HB 931. The bill (full text) allows school districts to authorize volunteer school chaplains to provide support, services, and programs to students. Schools must require parental consent for students to avail themselves of chaplain's support, services or programs. Liberty Counsel issued a press release announcing the signing of the bill.
