HB 1576 -- INSTRUCTION IN HUMAN SEXUALITY AND DEVELOPMENT

SPONSOR: Christensen

This bill modifies the course materials and instruction relating to human sexuality to include beginning in the 2024-25 school year a human growth and development discussion. The bill requires districts and charter schools to require such instruction beginning in grade 3 and outlines requirements including requiring a high definition video of fetal development and the "Meet Baby Olivia" video showing the process of fertilization and every stage of human development.

The bill provides the Attorney General standing as parens patriae to enforce the requirements and provides a cause of action for damages and relief.
