Allowing parents to review the formational documents (e.g., bylaws, mission statements) of such student groups or clubs. 3. Expanding parental notification and consent requirements for sex education instruction and materials. 4. Prohibiting schools from providing sex education instruction before grade 5. 5. Requiring schools to make sex education curricula and student group/club formational documents available for parental review before instruction or participation. 6. Mandating public hearings and input before schools can approve new sex education courses of study. The overall aim of the bill is to increase parental involvement and control over issues related to sexuality, gender, and related student activities in public schools.
