The bill amends Section 16-40A-5 of the Code of Alabama 1975 to prohibit classroom instruction in public prekindergarten through twelfth grade related to gender identity or sexual orientation. It specifically states that individuals providing instruction in public preK-12 schools cannot engage in discussions or provide instruction on these topics in a manner deemed inappropriate for the students' age or development. Additionally, the bill prohibits education employees from displaying flags or insignia related to sexual orientation or gender identity in classrooms.

Furthermore, the bill includes a provision that mandates the State Board of Education to adopt rules for the implementation and enforcement of these regulations. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2025. The amendments include the insertion of "prekindergarten" and "preK-12" in place of "kindergarten" and "K-12," respectively, and the addition of a new clause that explicitly prohibits the display of related flags or insignia by teachers and other public school employees.
