This bill proposes significant changes to education policy in Minnesota, particularly concerning classroom instruction and parental involvement. It prohibits public school instruction related to gender identity for students in kindergarten through grade 8, with the commissioner required to provide guidelines for enforcement. Additionally, the bill mandates that schools notify parents or guardians of any changes in their child's mental, emotional, or physical health services, reinforcing parental rights in decision-making regarding their child's upbringing. Schools must also obtain written consent from parents before administering health questionnaires to students in the same grade range.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a grant program aimed at enhancing firearms safety, trap shooting, archery, hunting, and angling activities within school physical education courses. The commissioner of natural resources is tasked with creating this program, which includes a $1,000,000 appropriation for fiscal year 2027 to support its implementation. Schools participating in the program must align their activities with state physical education standards, and a report on the program's outcomes is required by January 15, 2027.
