HB 1004 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Comprehensive Reproductive Health and Education Act; create.

HB 1004, which died in committee on February 3, 2026, proposed creating a voluntary state program for high school reproductive health education. The bill would have required parental permission for students aged 16+ to participate in curriculum covering reproductive anatomy, contraception, STI prevention, and healthy relationships, delivered by trained medical professionals or advocates. School districts could opt in to receive state support, but participation would not affect academic standing, and the curriculum must be inclusive and evidence-based. The program was intended to be funded through state budgets or grants, with annual reviews mandated, though it never advanced beyond committee.
