An Act Relative to Protecting the Religious Freedom of Students.

"Students are discouraged from any conversations about religion," said Poirier, who also is a co-sponsor of the bill. "Perhaps in science class, when evolution is discussed, a student would be able to bring up creationism." (source)

Louisiana? Kansas? Mississippi? Nope. The bill was presented to the legislature by Representative Viriato Manuel deMacedo, of Plymouth, and Representative Elizabeth Poirier is from North Attleboro, Massachusetts.

According to the Cape Cod Times, "No one testified against the bill, which has bipartisan support and is expected to pass favorably through the Joint Committee on Education." You can read the text of the bill here.
