Assembly Bill 316 aims to establish a grant program for training school counselors and social workers in LGBTQIA+ rights. The bill mandates the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) to award these grants to school boards, enabling them to provide training programs that are either developed or approved by the DPI. The definition of LGBTQIA+ is included in the bill, encompassing lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and any other nonheterosexual or noncisgender identities or expressions.

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 a new section 115.403, which details the grant program's purpose and requirements. The bill 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.
