The bill aims to revise school laws concerning human sexuality and identity instruction to enhance curriculum transparency and bolster parental rights. It mandates that schools obtain written permission from a parent or guardian before a child can participate in identity instruction. Additionally, schools are required to notify parents or guardians at least five school days in advance of any human sexuality or identity instruction, providing details about the curriculum and the option to review materials. The bill also stipulates that parents can withdraw their child from such instruction at any time.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new definitions for "human sexuality instruction" and "identity instruction," clarifying the scope of these terms. It requires school districts to make curriculum materials publicly available and to prepare an annual summary of their health enhancement curriculum. If violations of these provisions occur, school trustees are obligated to report them to the Board of Public Education. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2025.
