Bill > HB0190

This bill aims to establish various provisions related to parental rights in education. Key aspects include: 1. Prohibiting classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity for students in grades K-12, unless deemed age-appropriate by the state board of education. 2. Requiring school districts to immediately notify parents if a student wishes to change their name, pronouns, or identity in a manner inconsistent with their biological sex, or if there are changes to the student's mental, emotional, or physical health services. 3. Prohibiting school districts from adopting policies that prevent personnel from notifying parents about a student's well-being or that encourage students to withhold information from parents. 4. Mandating that school districts provide annual notification to parents about healthcare services offered and obtain parental consent before administering student well-being questionnaires or health screenings. 5. Allowing teachers, administrators, or school districts to face disciplinary action or civil penalties for violations, and providing a private cause of action for aggrieved persons. The bill also amends existing laws to require school boards to adopt relevant procedures and guidelines, and to allow for the dismissal of teachers who violate the new provisions.
