Bill Summary

This bill prohibits school districts, charter schools, and innovation zone schools from providing any program, curriculum, test, survey, questionnaire, promotion, or instruction relating to gender theory or sexual orientation instruction to students in grades 7 through 12, extending the current prohibition that applies to such students in kindergarten through grade 6.

AI Summary

This bill expands existing restrictions on what schools can teach about sexual orientation and gender theory, prohibiting school districts, charter schools, and innovation zone schools from offering any programs, curricula, tests, surveys, questionnaires, promotions, or instruction related to these topics to students in grades seven through twelve, effectively extending the current ban that applies to younger students in kindergarten through grade six. The bill amends several sections of Iowa Code, including those related to human growth and development instruction and health education, to incorporate this expanded prohibition, ensuring that instruction on these subjects is not provided to students in these grade levels.
