Summary

The bill changes state law so that every public school must offer a sex‑education and HIV‑prevention program that is age‑appropriate, medically accurate and includes a focus on abstinence and personal responsibility. Local school boards can provide both an abstinence‑based and a comprehensive course, but parents must opt‑in to the comprehensive option or the student is placed in the abstinence course by default. Parents may also exempt their child from any sex‑education instruction.
