HD 1888 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to securing parental consent for human sexuality education

HD 1888 requires schools to obtain written parental consent before students participate in human sexuality education. It mandates that schools notify parents at least 21 days in advance, identify specific topics like abortion and birth control in the notification, and provide referral information for reproductive health services. Schools must also list these topics on their websites under health curriculum programs. Failure to comply results in a $2,500 penalty per affected student per violation. The bill directly affects students, parents, and school districts in Massachusetts public schools.
