AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants to support the access of marginalized youth (defined as those disadvantaged by structural barriers and social inequity) to sexual health services. The grants can be used to provide medically accurate and age-appropriate sexual health information, promote effective communication and education, support school-age parents, and train individuals who work with marginalized youth. The bill prioritizes grants to entities with a history of supporting marginalized youth access to sexuality education or services, and requires grantees to form partnerships with community organizations and employ scientifically effective strategies. The bill also limits the use of grant funds to exclude services that withhold information, are medically inaccurate, or are insensitive to the needs of young people.
