to Primary and Secondary Education (H)
Summary
The bill rewrites the state health‑education statute to require every public school district to teach a comprehensive healthy‑relationship curriculum to all students from kindergarten through 12th grade starting in the 2027‑28 school year. The instruction must be age‑appropriate, culturally inclusive, medically accurate, and trauma‑informed, covering topics such as human development, consent, gender identity, LGBTQ+ families, abstinence, contraception, and safe internet use. The goal is to equip students with knowledge and skills to build respectful, safe relationships and make informed health decisions.
