This bill amends Florida Statutes to define "harmful to minors" and revise the objection process for instructional materials used in K-12 classrooms. The new definition includes any material depicting nudity or sexual conduct that appeals to prurient interests and is deemed offensive by community standards. The bill mandates that school district boards adopt a clear policy for handling objections from parents or residents regarding specific materials, ensuring that the objection process is accessible and transparent. If a material is deemed harmful to minors, it must be removed within five school days and remain unavailable during the review process.

Additionally, the bill reenacts a section related to school district notifications on parental rights, ensuring that parents are informed about their ability to object to instructional materials based on moral, sexual, or religious beliefs. The legislation emphasizes the importance of parental involvement in the educational process and establishes a framework for addressing concerns about the appropriateness of materials used in schools. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
