Bill Summary

Youth Empowerment Act of 2017

AI Summary

This bill, the Youth Empowerment Act of 2017, amends Section 510 of the Social Security Act to establish a new "Youth Empowerment Program." The program will provide allotments to states and other entities to implement education focused on "sexual risk avoidance," which means encouraging youth to voluntarily refrain from sexual activity. The education must emphasize the benefits of personal responsibility, healthy decision-making, and avoiding poverty through self-sufficiency. The bill also allows for research funding and requires data collection and reporting. The Secretary of Health and Human Services is tasked with conducting a national evaluation of the program and submitting a report to Congress.
