What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Public Instruction to develop, by July 1,

2020, a child sexual abuse prevention policy and instructional program to be

provided to pupils in grades kindergarten to six. DPI must include in the program

an age-appropriate curriculum to provide pupils with the knowledge and tools to

escape from a sexual abuse situation and communicate incidents of sexual abuse.

Under the bill, beginning in the 2021-22 school year, each school board must provide

a child sexual abuse prevention instructional program to pupils in grades

kindergarten to six. Each school board must adopt and administer either DPI's

program or its own child sexual abuse prevention instructional program.
