The bill enacts R.S. 17:412, which establishes restrictions on discussions regarding sexual orientation and gender identity in public schools in Louisiana. Specifically, it prohibits teachers, school employees, and presenters from engaging in discussions about these topics with students in grades K-12. This includes any classroom instruction that deviates from state-approved content standards, discussions during extracurricular activities, and personal disclosures of sexual orientation or gender identity by educators.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that students are still permitted to seek guidance from teachers or licensed mental health professionals outside of classroom hours, provided they have prior parental consent. This provision aims to ensure that while formal discussions on these topics are restricted, students still have access to support when needed.
