To provide requirements relating to education of students and young adults about unplannned pregnancy options
HB 2810, the Adoption Education Act, requires West Virginia public schools to provide information about adoption as an option for unplanned pregnancy whenever contraception, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), or related topics are discussed or provided. It mandates that schools explain current adoption practices, state adoption resources, and the Safe Haven Act during these health education sessions. The bill applies to all schools under the West Virginia State Board of Education or public universities, directing the superintendent to include these requirements in health content standards. The law takes effect July 1, 2025, and states that adoption education should complement family and church teachings on family life.
