AI Summary

This bill directs the commissioner of education, working with the board of regents, to create and develop a curriculum for students on healthy relationship building skills, with the content tailored to different grade levels and focusing on specific aspects of healthy relationships as students progress through school, from early concepts of friendship and emotions in kindergarten through second grade, to trust and conflict resolution in third through fifth grades, then emotional regulation and early romantic relationships in sixth through eighth grades, and finally intimacy, consent, and power dynamics in high school, though parents will have the option to opt their children out of specific content related to romantic relationships or sexual consent, while lessons on general emotional intelligence and communication will remain mandatory.
