This bill mandates the inclusion of domestic violence prevention education within the existing health education, physical education, and wellness curriculum for students. Specifically, it amends RSA 189:10, II to require that school boards ensure the curriculum covers various topics, including the prevention of domestic and sexual violence, alongside other health-related subjects such as physiology, hygiene, and the effects of substance abuse.

The key insertion in the bill is the addition of "domestic and" before "sexual violence" in the curriculum requirements, emphasizing the importance of addressing domestic violence in educational settings. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, aiming to enhance students' understanding of interpersonal relationships and promote a safer environment in schools.
