Summary

The bill forces every public K‑12 sex‑education program in Alabama to focus exclusively on avoiding sexual activity and to promote abstinence. It bars any instruction on contraception, abortion referrals, or sexually explicit images, and it requires schools to give parents at least 14 days’ written notice and an opt‑out option. The law also limits which outside groups can assist with sex‑education and gives the Attorney General enforcement authority.
