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 legal language is inserted into RSA 189:10, creating a new paragraph (II-a) that outlines these requirements.

The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, and it is expected to impact local school districts in terms of expenditures, although the exact costs are indeterminable and will vary by district. There are no anticipated changes to local revenue as a result of this bill. The fiscal note indicates that while the implementation costs are uncertain, they will not be uniform across all districts.
