Bill Summary

A BILL FOR AN ACT relating to schools; to amend section 79-760.01, Reissue Revised Statutes of Nebraska; to require the State Board of Eduction to adopt academic content standards on human embryology under the science education standards as prescribed; to repeal the original section; and to declare an emergency.

AI Summary

This bill requires the Nebraska State Board of Education to develop and adopt detailed academic content standards for human embryology as part of science education by March 1, 2026. These standards must be integrated into school curricula for elementary, middle, and high school students starting in the 2026-27 school year. The required instruction must accurately portray human development using biological science, specifically including the Carnegie Stages of Human Embryonic Development, and must incorporate high-definition 4D visual recordings that demonstrate the development of key organs such as the brain, heart, sex organs, and other vital organs throughout fetal development. Importantly, the bill includes a provision allowing parents, guardians, or educational decision-makers to opt their students out of this specific instruction. This mandate is part of a broader effort by the State Board of Education to regularly update and review academic content standards, with a standard seven-year review cycle for each subject area. The bill declares an emergency, meaning it will take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
