HB 2922 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Requires instruction on human sexuality and development in schools

This bill requires Florida schools to teach human sexuality and development, directly affecting students, parents, and school districts. It mandates that instruction cover medically accurate information on sexually transmitted diseases, the benefits of abstinence, contraception, and the emotional consequences of teenage pregnancy. The law also specifies that schools must show a high-definition ultrasound video and a video depicting fertilization and fetal development to illustrate human growth. Additionally, the bill defines consent and sexual harassment, outlines parental notification rights, and prohibits schools from partnering with entities that provide abortion services. Local school boards retain the authority to determine specific curriculum details and decide whether to separate students by gender during these lessons.
