The bill amends the Revised School Code by adding Section 1509, which mandates that the Michigan Department of Education provide school districts, intermediate school districts, and public school academies with a notice regarding the requirements of Section 213b of the Michigan Penal Code. This notice must include a copy or link to the relevant section of the penal code, as well as contact information for the Office of School Safety within the Department of State Police for any inquiries. Additionally, the department is protected from civil liability arising from the notice provided.

Furthermore, the bill requires that school districts and public school academies disseminate this notice to school personnel, students in grades 6 to 12, and their parents or legal guardians. It also mandates the implementation of educational policies about Section 213b and requires at least one board meeting each school year to share educational materials on sextortion from recognized organizations. The bill defines "sextortion" as a form of child sexual exploitation involving threats to share sexual images of minors in exchange for additional sexual content, activities, or money.
