AI Summary

This bill proposes several changes to policies and requirements related to public K-12 educational institutions in Florida. It defines "sex" as the biological classification of a person as female or male. It prohibits public K-12 educational institutions from requiring employees, contractors, or students to use personal titles or pronouns that do not correspond to a person's biological sex, with exceptions for individuals born with certain genetic or biochemical disorders. The bill also restricts instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity in prekindergarten through 8th grade, and requires parental notification and consent procedures for student well-being services and surveys. Additionally, the bill reenacts several existing statutes to incorporate the definition of "sex" from this legislation.
