Short description: 
SCH-STUDENT INITIATED PRAYER                                               

Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the Silent Reflection Act. Changes the short title of  the      
   Act  to  the Silent Reflection and Student Prayer Act. Allows students      
   in the public  schools  to  voluntarily  engage  in  student-initiated      
   prayer.                                                                     
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 1.                                                
        Instead  of  allowing   students   to   voluntarily   engage   in      
   student-initiated  prayer,  provides  that  students  may  voluntarily      
   engage  in  individually-initiated,  non-disruptive prayer that is not      
   sponsored, promoted, or endorsed in any manner by the  school  or  any      
   school employee.                                                            
        SENATE AMENDMENT NO. 3.                                                
        Provides that the allowance of prayer be consistent with the Free      
   Exercise and Establishment Clauses of the United States  and  Illinois      
   Constitutions  (instead  of the constitutional principle of freedom of      
   religion and the Supreme Court rulings on the separation of church and      
   State).
