The bill amends existing laws related to health and personal safety education in Alaska's public schools. It requires each public school to provide an annual report that includes a summary and evaluation of the health and personal safety education curriculum, detailing student participation, frequency of instruction, and the grades in which the program is taught. Additionally, the bill mandates that the health and personal safety education program must include comprehensive sexual health education, covering topics such as human development, consent, and contraception, while ensuring the curriculum is age-appropriate and inclusive of all students.

Key changes in the bill include the insertion of specific requirements for health and personal safety education, replacing the previous encouragement for schools to initiate such programs. The bill also emphasizes the importance of medically accurate information and voluntary consent in sexual health education. Furthermore, it establishes guidelines for the evaluation of health and personal safety education programs, ensuring they are assessed similarly to other curriculum programs, with a focus on the health status of students. The bill repeals a previous section (AS 14.30.361) that may have been redundant or outdated.
