   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 1999-2000 academic      
   year.  Effective immediately.                                               
          FISCAL NOTE (State Board of Education)                               
          There would be minimal fiscal impact at the State level; local       
          districts could incur nominal charges for paperwork and              
          possible costs for purchasing additional supplies.                   
          STATE MANDATES NOTE (State Board of Education)
