The proposed bill aims to enhance human trafficking and exploitation prevention and awareness education in public, nonpublic, and tribal schools in North Dakota. It mandates that school districts and governing boards adopt policies for educating students and staff on these issues, which may involve partnerships with community organizations. The bill emphasizes the importance of offering optional workshops or materials to parents and guardians to support their children's education on personal safety and grooming prevention. The education provided must be developmentally appropriate, culturally sensitive, and based on evidence-based practices, and it is required to be delivered annually to students.

Additionally, the bill includes an appropriation of $48,000 from the state general fund to the superintendent of public instruction for implementing this education program during the biennium from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2027. The bill outlines specific topics to be covered in the education, such as the role of online activity in human trafficking, methods to identify potential victims, and the complexities of abuse and manipulation. Notably, it removes previous requirements for schoolwide education for all students in grades four through twelve and certain definitions and statistics related to human trafficking.
