The proposed bill establishes new requirements for school employees in South Dakota regarding discussions and instruction related to gender ideology. It mandates that school nurses, counselors, teachers, administrators, and other staff must notify a student's parent or guardian if any discussions about the student's gender confusion or gender dysphoria occur. This aims to ensure parental involvement in matters concerning a student's gender identity.

Additionally, the bill prohibits school staff from providing instruction or presentations that explore or inform students about gender identity or expression, as well as from encouraging students to withhold information about their gender perception from their parents or guardians. It also requires that any information regarding a student's perception of their gender or sex must be communicated to the student's parent or guardian. These provisions are intended to limit the influence of school personnel on students' understanding of gender issues without parental consent.
