What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill requires the state superintendent of public instruction, in consultation with the Department of Children and Families, to develop a model curriculum and instructional materials for grades 7 to 12 on human trafficking prevention. The model curriculum and instructional materials must be age appropriate at each grade level and must include instruction on Internet safety. Beginning in the 2024-25 school year, the bill requires each school board to provide age-appropriate instruction in human trafficking prevention in grades 7 to 12. Under the bill, the instruction must be consistent with the model curriculum or a curriculum that is substantially similar to the model curriculum. Finally, under the bill, school boards must require full-time school district employees who are required to hold a license issued by the Department of Public Instruction to receive training in identifying victims of child trafficking.
