A new bill, the “Evin B. Hartsell Act,” has been filed in Florida to require disability history and awareness instruction for students in public K-12 schools. The bill mandates a two-week period each year for intensive instruction on disabilities, including topics such as bullying, physical disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, hearing impairment, and learning disabilities. District school boards would work with the Evin B. Hartsell Foundation to develop the curriculum. The goal is to raise awareness and understanding of individuals with disabilities and the disability rights movement. If passed, the act would take effect on July 1. The bill is aimed at educating students on various disabilities and promoting a culture of inclusion and acceptance.
