Bill > HB195

This bill amends the existing law in Alabama to establish "sexual risk avoidance" as the exclusive sex education curriculum in public K-12 schools. It prohibits local boards of education from using services of organizations that endorse other approaches to sex education, and requires parents or guardians to be given advanced notice and the opportunity to opt their child out of the sex education curriculum. The bill also sets specific requirements for the content of sex education, including emphasizing abstinence, providing information on the laws related to pregnancy and abortion, and teaching skills to avoid risky sexual behavior and online exploitation. Additionally, the Attorney General is given the authority to enforce the provisions of this law.
