This bill mandates that public school districts in South Dakota provide students with information about the state's age-of-consent laws and available legal and mental health resources. The requirement stipulates that this information must be presented to students annually, starting in the fifth grade, and must be delivered in a manner that is appropriate for their age.

The new section added to chapter 13-33 emphasizes the importance of educating students on these critical topics, ensuring they have access to necessary resources as they navigate their developmental stages. This initiative aims to enhance students' understanding of legal matters and mental health support, fostering a more informed and supportive school environment.
