Removes previous requirement that pupils complete at least one civic engagement or experience with a governmental institution at the local, state, or national level while in grades 1-6 and at least once in grades 7-8.

Specifies that for grades 7-12, civic engagement experiences should support pupils earning the State Seal of Civic Engagement as authorized by Section 51471.

Establishes that if the Commission on State Mandates determines the bill creates state-mandated costs, reimbursement shall be made pursuant to Part 7 of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code.
