Bill > SB150

This bill establishes several provisions related to parental rights and student privacy in Kentucky public schools. Key provisions include: 1. Requiring schools to notify parents about health and mental health services related to human sexuality, contraception, or family planning, and obtain parental consent before providing such services. The bill also prohibits the state education board from requiring schools to keep student information confidential from parents. 2. Amending existing law to require schools to have policies that protect student privacy, such as restricting students from using restrooms, locker rooms, or showers designated for the opposite biological sex. The bill provides accommodations for students whose gender identity differs from their biological sex. 3. Creating a new section in state law to prohibit healthcare providers from administering certain medical treatments, such as puberty blockers or gender-affirming surgeries, to minors for the purpose of altering their biological sex, with some exceptions. The bill also authorizes disciplinary actions and creates a civil cause of action for violations. The bill was passed with an emergency clause, meaning the key provisions in Sections 1-3 took effect immediately upon becoming law.
