The bill amends section 1003.42 of the Florida Statutes to require that all instructional materials used for teaching reproductive health and specified diseases, including HIV/AIDS, must be approved annually by the district school board. This approval process must occur in an open, noticed public meeting, ensuring transparency and community involvement in the selection of educational materials.
The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2026. This change aims to enhance oversight and accountability in the educational content related to reproductive health and disease instruction within Florida's school system.
