Under a bill that received final approval Thursday in the Florida House, representatives of certain “patriotic organizations” would be allowed to visit schools and speak with students.
The measure (HB 1317), approved unanimously by the House, would allow eight groups into schools “during school hours and instructional time” to speak with students and distribute materials “in a classroom setting to students to encourage participation” in the groups.

The groups would be Big Brothers-Big Sisters of America, Boy Scouts of America, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Civil Air Patrol, Future Farmers of America, Girl Scouts of the United States of America, the Marine Corps League, and the Naval Sea Cadet Corps.
Senators unanimously passed the measure on Wednesday, meaning it is ready to go to Gov. Ron DeSantis.
