The bill establishes new procedures and requirements for school districts in Wyoming regarding parental notification and involvement in decisions affecting students' health and well-being, particularly concerning mental, emotional, and physical health. It prohibits classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity for students in grades K-3 and mandates that school districts notify parents of any changes in their child's services or health monitoring. Additionally, the bill requires parental consent before administering health screenings to young students and outlines a process for parents to file complaints regarding non-compliance with these provisions.

Furthermore, the bill amends existing laws to require the state board of education and school district boards of trustees to adopt procedures, guidelines, and standards related to student health and well-being, as well as the resolution of parent complaints. The state board must establish these rules by July 1, 2023, and school districts are required to comply with them. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2023, with certain sections becoming effective immediately upon the bill's passage.
