Relating to human sexuality education in public schools.
HB 5056 requires Texas public school districts to provide medically accurate, age-appropriate human sexuality education aligned with state standards. It directly affects all public school districts in Texas and their curriculum development. The bill mandates that curricula must include inclusive content about same-sex relationships, gender identity, and sexual orientation; cover HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment; emphasize abstinence as the only 100% effective method; and teach contraception effectiveness and relationship skills. The State Board of Education must adopt specific standards for these curricula by rule.
