Bill > HF2353

This bill amends existing Minnesota education law to require the state commissioner of education to include organ donation education as a required health-related subject area for ninth-grade students, alongside other existing health education topics such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, vaping awareness, cannabis and substance use education, sexually transmitted infections education, and mental health education. By adding organ donation education to the statewide health standards, the bill aims to ensure that high school freshmen receive instruction about organ donation, potentially increasing awareness and understanding of this critical medical process that can save lives by helping students learn about the importance of organ and tissue donation. The bill specifies that this new educational requirement will become effective the day after it is officially enacted, mandating that school districts provide age-appropriate organ donation education to ninth-grade students as part of their standard health curriculum.
