Thank you, Speaker ZMUN.

This legislation is designed to promote film and visual arts in public high schools throughout Lincoln. Based on a similar proposal offered by Senator Laki, the Educational Film Act will champion the idea that the cinema can serve as a key learning tool for students. It will allow for the Department of Education to provide assistance in making educationally-relevant visual materials accessible to students.
