This bill proposes the creation of a new section in chapter 15.1-21 of the North Dakota Century Code, which mandates the inclusion of intelligent design in the state science content standards for elementary and secondary education. Specifically, it requires the superintendent of public instruction to incorporate intelligent design into the curriculum by August 1, 2027.

To facilitate this integration, the bill stipulates that the superintendent must provide teachers with instructional materials that demonstrate intelligent design as a viable scientific theory for the creation of all life forms. Additionally, the bill mandates in-service training for educators to ensure they are equipped to teach intelligent design as part of the science content standards.
