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 written parental permission for instruction related to diversity, equity, or inclusion, and allows school district personnel to opt out of mandatory trainings on these topics.

Furthermore, the bill introduces several new provisions, including the requirement for school districts to notify parents at least five days prior to assemblies or activities addressing sensitive topics such as sexual orientation and gender identity. It establishes definitions for terms like "diversity, equity or inclusion" and "gender ideology," and outlines the responsibilities of school districts to publish their policies and procedures on their official websites. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
