The bill revises the requirements for schools in Montana to notify parents and guardians prior to providing human sexuality instruction. It establishes a clearer definition of "human sexuality instruction" and mandates that schools adopt a policy to ensure parental notification at least 2 school days and no more than 10 school days before such instruction occurs. Additionally, the bill requires schools to provide annual notifications regarding the content of human sexuality instruction and the availability of related curriculum materials for review.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a remedy for individuals who knowingly, purposefully, and repeatedly violate these notification requirements, which may result in disciplinary action against their teaching or specialist certification. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2023.
