Bill Summary

To ensure that students receive age and developmentally appropriate instruction in the classroom about sexual orientation and gender identity.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend existing education statutes to restrict classroom instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity for students in kindergarten through third grade, completely prohibiting such instruction by school personnel or third parties. For students in grades four through twelve, the bill mandates that any instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity must be "age appropriate" and "developmentally appropriate," which means the content and manner of teaching should be tailored to students' cognitive and emotional maturity levels. The bill's purpose is to provide guidance on how and when sensitive topics related to sexual orientation and gender identity should be introduced in educational settings, with a focus on ensuring that such instruction is suitable for students' specific age groups and developmental stages.
