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 a student's mental, emotional, or physical health services, reinforcing parental rights in decision-making regarding their child's upbringing. Schools must also obtain written permission from parents before administering health questionnaires to students in the same grade range.

Furthermore, the bill establishes a grant program aimed at enhancing physical education courses by incorporating firearms safety, trap shooting, archery, hunting, and angling. The commissioner of natural resources is tasked with creating this program, which requires schools to align activities with state physical education standards. A total of $1,000,000 is appropriated for the program in fiscal year 2027, with a report due by January 15, 2027, detailing the program's activities and outcomes.
