The bill amends the Code of West Virginia to include a new section, designated as the "Baby Olivia Act," which mandates the incorporation of human growth and development education related to pregnancy and fetal development into the curriculum of public schools. Starting in the 2025-2026 school year, this instruction will be required for students in grades three, five, and eight. The curriculum must include specific materials, such as a high-definition ultrasound video demonstrating early fetal development and the "Meet Baby Olivia" video, which illustrates the process of fertilization and stages of human development until birth.

Additionally, the bill authorizes the Attorney General of West Virginia to enforce the provisions of the "Baby Olivia Act" by suing for damages and injunctive relief on behalf of residents or citizens who may be affected by violations of this section. The bill aims to ensure that students receive comprehensive education on human growth and development, thereby promoting awareness and understanding of these topics within the state's educational framework.
