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 information is age-appropriate and scientifically accurate.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the language surrounding the health and personal safety education program, changing the phrasing from "should" to "must" to emphasize the requirement for schools to provide this education. It also establishes guidelines for the program, ensuring that it is inclusive and emphasizes the importance of voluntary consent. The evaluation of these programs will be conducted by the department, similar to other curriculum evaluations, and will also assess changes in students' health status through physical and dental examinations. The bill repeals a previous section (AS 14.30.361) that may have been redundant or outdated.
