This bill requires school counselors, psychologists, and social workers to notify parents if a student under 18 expresses feelings of gender dysphoria or interest in self-injurious behavior during counseling sessions. It carves out an exception to South Dakota's existing confidentiality protections for school counselors, which currently prevent them from disclosing student communications to others.
