Referred to committee
Summary
The Baby Olivia Act requires Ohio public schools to include a standardized curriculum on human growth and development for students in grades five through twelve, featuring a three‑minute fetal ultrasound video and a "Baby Olivia" video that shows fertilization and pregnancy stages. It also creates a process for statewide approval of health standards, allows districts and certain schools to apply for pilot‑program waivers, and gives parents the right to see the materials or be excused from the instruction. The law aims to ensure consistent, transparent teaching of early human development while providing oversight and parental choice.
