The bill amends the Revised School Code of 1976 by adding a new section, 1170c, which mandates that by the 2025-2026 school year, the Michigan Department of Education must ensure that the model core academic curriculum content standards for biology include specific content related to human biology and pregnancy. This new requirement aims to enhance the educational framework surrounding human development within the context of biology classes.

Specifically, the bill outlines that the curriculum must provide an overview of human development inside the uterus and include several key components: a high-definition ultrasound video of at least three minutes showcasing early fetal development, and a high-quality computer-generated rendering or animation that illustrates every stage of human development in the uterus, highlighting significant markers in cell growth and organ development throughout pregnancy until birth.
