HB1162 requires parents to actively opt-in (give written permission) before their children can participate in any sex education or sexuality instruction at public schools, and schools must provide a description of content and materials for parental review at least two weeks before instruction. The bill also establishes that abstinence education programs must emphasize abstinence before marriage and marital fidelity, and students who don't participate in sex education get an extra study period instead.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
