The proposed bill encourages school districts and charter schools in Minnesota to provide instruction on healthy aging and dementia for students in grades 6 through 12. This instruction should align with local health standards and be integrated into existing programs or the general school environment. The bill mandates that the commissioner of education, in collaboration with the commissioner of health and dementia advocacy organizations, will supply age-appropriate resources on these topics by July 1, 2025, and every odd-numbered year thereafter. These resources will include strategies for maintaining brain health, information on Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, and guidance on caring for elders with cognitive impairments.

Additionally, the bill includes a new section in the Minnesota Statutes, specifically designated as [120B.213], which formalizes the encouragement for schools to implement this educational initiative. The effective date for this section is set for July 1, 2024.
