(CRONIN-KLEMM-PARKER-RONEN,C-LINK)

   New Act                                                                     

        Creates the Dissection Alternatives Act.  Provides  that  schools      
   may  excuse  a student from performing or observing dissection and may      
   allow the student to instead perform an alternative project.  Provides      
   that students may not be penalized for refusing to participate  in  or      
   observe  dissection.   Directs the State Board of Education to develop      
   guidelines for notifying  students  and  parents  about  courses  that      
   include  dissection.  Directs the Illinois Community College Board and      
   the Board of Higher Education to include this Act in  their  customary      
   notices  of  new  legislation. First applies to the 2000-2001 academic      
   year.  Effective immediately.                                               
          FISCAL NOTE (State Board of Education)                               
          State-level costs would be minimal, if such guidelines could be      
          offered via the agency website and publicized through the nor-       
          mal channels of district notification (superintendent's news-        
          letters, etc.). Costs at the local level, for duplication of         
          such materials and awareness publicity, are not estimated.
