Bill > S1910

This bill, called the Real Education and Access for Healthy Youth Act of 2025, aims to comprehensively improve sex education and sexual health services for young people aged 10-29, with a particular focus on addressing historical inequities and serving underserved populations. The bill provides grants to schools, educational agencies, higher education institutions, and youth-serving organizations to develop and implement evidence-informed, culturally responsive, and age-appropriate sex education programs. Key provisions include funding for sex education at elementary, secondary, and higher education levels; training for educators; sexual health services for underserved youth; and a requirement for multi-year evaluation of the program's impact. The bill emphasizes addressing systemic barriers faced by marginalized communities, including Black, Indigenous, and LGBTQ+ youth, and seeks to provide comprehensive education covering topics like puberty, sexual anatomy, consent, reproductive health, sexual orientation, gender identity, and healthy relationships. The legislation also explicitly prohibits discriminatory practices and requires that funded programs provide medically accurate, inclusive, and non-stereotypical information. The bill authorizes $100 million in annual funding from fiscal years 2026 through 2031 and repeals previous abstinence-only education funding.
