This bill expands the notification requirement to include course materials and instruction on sexually transmitted diseases and requires districts to receive parental consent in writing from a parent or legal guardian before a student is provided any course material or instruction.

This bill carries a penalty provision and violation is a class C misdemeanor. Additionally, in any legal proceeding related to a violation of this section, no entity directly or indirectly receiving any taxpayer funds shall provide any legal advice, counsel, or representation to any person or entity that violates this section.
