The bill aims to clarify the procedures and requirements for school districts in Wyoming regarding parental notification and student welfare. It mandates that school districts notify parents or guardians of any changes in a student's educational, physical, mental, or emotional health during school hours or while engaged in school-related activities. Additionally, the bill prohibits school districts from requiring personnel and students to use a student's preferred pronoun if it does not align with the student's biological sex. It also requires parental permission for instruction related to diversity, equity, or inclusion, and allows school district personnel to opt out of mandatory trainings on these topics.

Key provisions include the requirement for school districts to provide parents with written policies and updates regarding health care services and educational practices at the beginning of each school year. The bill introduces new definitions for terms such as "diversity, equity or inclusion" and "gender ideology," and emphasizes the importance of parental rights in decision-making regarding their children's education and well-being. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
