The bill proposes the addition of a new section to Minnesota Statutes, chapter 120B, which encourages school districts and charter schools 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 and curricula. By July 1, 2026, and every even-numbered year thereafter, the commissioner of education, in collaboration with the commissioner of health and dementia advocacy organizations, is tasked with providing age-appropriate resources on healthy aging and dementia. 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.

The bill also establishes an effective date for this new section, which is set for July 1, 2025. This initiative aims to enhance students' understanding of healthy aging and dementia, thereby promoting awareness and support for individuals affected by these issues.
