Digest
SB 983 imposes restrictions on human sexuality instruction in public schools. It prohibits school districts, charter schools, and school employees from providing instruction, guidance, activities, or programs related to sexual orientation or gender identity to students from prekindergarten through 12th grade. The bill also establishes new requirements for local school health advisory councils, including setting policies on student communication regarding sexual health topics. It mandates that school districts adopt written policies governing employee discussions on reproductive and sexual health topics and prohibits extracurricular activities related to human sexuality unless explicitly approved by the school board. The bill also grants the Attorney General the authority to take legal action against school districts that violate these provisions​.
