AI Summary

This bill introduces several significant changes to Oregon's education system and tax policies. It requires public education providers to make tampons and sanitary pads available in at least one location in each school building, creates tax credits for rural teachers ranging from $3,000 to $5,000 based on their distance from a metropolitan area, and mandates that public schools, community colleges, and universities provide instruction in a "neutral manner" that avoids promoting specific political movements or personal views. The bill also requires school districts to designate athletic competitions and sports by biological sex, prohibiting biological males from participating in competitions designated for biological females. Additionally, the legislation directs school districts to adopt safety policies, potentially including school resource officers, and requires parental notification within 24 hours for various student interactions such as visits to school health centers or discussions about self-identity. The bill creates a tax credit for parents of children attending private or home schools, equivalent to the school district's per-student funding, and prohibits the Oregon Health Authority from mandating certain immunizations, specifically those using messenger RNA technology. The bill is set to take effect 91 days after the 2025 legislative session adjourns and applies to tax years between 2026 and 2032.
