A bill for an act relating to child sexual abuse and child sexual assault awareness and prevention.

HF 215 requires Iowa school districts, charter schools, and nonpublic schools to provide age-appropriate child sexual abuse and assault awareness education to students in kindergarten through sixth grade. It mandates schools to develop and distribute materials for parents covering topics like recognizing unsafe touch, internet safety, and reporting resources, and to incorporate model guidelines into K-6 curricula. The bill also establishes continuing education requirements for educators on prevention topics and specifies that school districts will fund implementation using existing state foundation aid. This legislation directly affects all K-6 students and schools across Iowa by creating standardized prevention education and resource materials.
