The bill enacts R.S. 17:412, which establishes regulations regarding discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity in Louisiana public schools. It prohibits teachers, school employees, and presenters from engaging in discussions about these topics with students in grades K-12. Specifically, the bill restricts classroom discussions or instruction that deviate from state content standards, as well as discussions during extracurricular activities. Additionally, it prohibits educators from discussing their own sexual orientation or gender identity with students.

However, the bill clarifies that it does not prevent students from seeking 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.
