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 questions about the student's gender confusion or dysphoria are raised during discussions with the student.

Additionally, the bill prohibits these school employees from providing any instruction or presentations aimed at exploring or informing students about gender identity or expression, as well as from encouraging students to withhold information about their gender perception from their parents or guardians. Furthermore, it restricts school staff from withholding any information related to a student's perception of their gender or sex from their parents or guardians.
