LB 213 Legislature · 109th Legislature (2025-2026)

Require the State Board of Education to adopt academic content standards on human embryology under the science education standards

Nebraska's LB 213 requires the State Board of Education to adopt science curriculum standards on human embryology for all public schools. The law mandates that these standards include accurate biological instruction on human development (including Carnegie Stages) and high-definition 4D visual recordings showing organ development from brain to heart. Schools must integrate these materials into science classes by the 2026-27 school year, with parents able to opt their children out of this instruction. The bill directly affects Nebraska's K-12 public school curriculum and science education standards.
