Assembly Bill 316 aims to establish a grant program for training school counselors and social workers in LGBTQIA+ rights, as defined in the bill. The Department of Public Instruction (DPI) will be responsible for awarding these grants to school boards, enabling them to provide training programs that are either developed or approved by the DPI. The bill specifically defines LGBTQIA+ to include lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and any other nonheterosexual or noncisgender identities or expressions.

To implement this program, the bill creates new statutory sections, specifically 20.255 (2) (fi) and 115.403, which outline the grant provisions and the responsibilities of the DPI. The funding for these grants will be included in the state budget, as indicated in the bill's schedule. The act is set to take effect the day after its publication or on the second day after the publication of the 2025 biennial budget act, whichever occurs later.
