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,
2022, 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 to
trustworthy adults. Under the bill, beginning in the 2023-24 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.
