This bill amends the current health education curriculum in public schools by adding a new requirement for age-appropriate and medically accurate sexuality education. Specifically, it mandates that students view a high-quality computer-generated animation or ultrasound video that illustrates the development of the heart, brain, and other vital organs during early fetal development. The new paragraph, designated as II-a, is inserted into RSA 189:10, following the existing provisions of the health curriculum.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, and is expected to impact local school districts in terms of expenditures, although the exact costs are indeterminable and will vary by district. The fiscal note indicates that there will be no immediate impact on local revenue, and the potential costs associated with compliance are not specified.
