AI Summary

This bill amends Michigan's school code to require that by the 2025-2026 school year, biology curriculum standards include a comprehensive overview of human development during pregnancy. The bill mandates that biology classes must provide three specific components: (1) a general overview of human development inside the uterus, (2) a high-definition ultrasound video at least 3 minutes long that demonstrates the development of critical organs like the brain and heart during early fetal stages, and (3) a high-quality computer-generated animation or rendering that shows every stage of human development inside the uterus, highlighting significant markers of cell growth and organ development from conception to birth. The legislation aims to enhance students' understanding of human biological development by introducing detailed visual and scientific content about fetal development in biology classrooms.
