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. It prohibits classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity for students in grades K-3 and mandates that school districts notify parents immediately of any changes in a student's mental, emotional, or physical health services. Additionally, the bill requires school districts to provide parents with information about health care services offered at schools, obtain parental consent before administering health screenings, and establish procedures for parents to file complaints regarding non-compliance with these regulations.

Furthermore, the bill amends existing laws to require the state board of education and school district boards of trustees to adopt procedures and guidelines for resolving parent complaints and for student instruction related to health and well-being. The act will take effect on July 1, 2024, with certain sections becoming effective immediately upon the bill's passage. The legislation emphasizes the fundamental rights of parents to make decisions regarding their children's care and to access their educational and health records.
