What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Current law allows, but does not require, a school board to provide a human growth and development instructional program in grades kindergarten to 12. If a school board elects to provide such an instructional program, current law provides a recommended instructional program that 1) presents medically accurate information to pupils and addresses certain age-appropriate topics, including reproductive and sexual anatomy and physiology, the benefits of and reasons for abstaining from sexual activity, and how alcohol and drug use affect responsible decision making; 2) addresses self-esteem and personal responsibility, positive interpersonal skills, and healthy relationships; 3) addresses the positive connection between marriage and parenting; 4) presents information about avoiding stereotyping and bullying; and 5) identifies counseling, medical, and legal resources for survivors of sexual abuse and assault. This bill incorporates the recommendation related to identifying resources for survivors of sexual abuse and assault into a broader recommendation to provide an age-appropriate curriculum on child sexual abuse prevention that includes 1) instruction on specific topics and 2) providing parents and guardians with facts and clear explanations related to child sexual abuse topics.
