The 2025 Senate Bill 320 mandates the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) to award grants to school boards for the purpose of providing training in LGBTQIA+ rights to school counselors and social workers. The bill defines LGBTQIA+ as encompassing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, or any other nonheterosexual or noncisgender orientation, identity, or expression. The training programs must be developed or approved by the DPI, ensuring that school staff are equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to support LGBTQIA+ students effectively.

To facilitate this initiative, the bill creates a new section in the statutes, specifically 20.255 (2) (fi), which outlines the allocation of funds for these grants, and establishes section 115.403, detailing the grant process and the definition of LGBTQIA+. The act is set to take effect the day after publication or on the second day after the publication of the 2025 biennial budget act, whichever occurs later.
