Bill Summary
RELATING TO EDUCATION; AMENDING CHAPTER 16, TITLE 33, IDAHO CODE, BY THE AD- DITION OF A NEW SECTION 33-1637, IDAHO CODE, TO PROVIDE FOR HUMAN GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT INSTRUCTION IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS; AND DECLARING AN EMER- GENCY AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
AI Summary
This bill mandates that beginning in the 2025-2026 school year, all public schools serving students in grades 5-12 must include specific human growth and development instruction. The required curriculum must feature two key visual components: first, a high-definition ultrasound video at least three minutes long demonstrating early fetal development of the brain, heart, sex organs, and other vital organs; and second, a computer-generated rendering showing the entire process of fertilization and human development inside the uterus, including weekly markers of cell growth and organ development until birth. Additionally, this instruction must be integrated into any class that discusses human biology, contraception, sexually transmitted diseases, or sexually transmitted infections. The bill takes effect on July 1, 2025, and is presented as an emergency measure, indicating its perceived immediate importance to the Idaho state legislature. The goal appears to be providing detailed, visual education about human reproductive development and fetal growth across multiple grade levels.
