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, it 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. The bill 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.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new provisions that require 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 also establishes a policy that ensures school district personnel are not compelled to refer to students by preferred pronouns that do not match their biological sex. The bill includes definitions for terms such as "diversity, equity or inclusion" and "gender ideology," and it mandates that school districts publish their policies and updates on their official websites. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
