This bill requires school counselors to get parental consent before providing counseling services to students for mental, emotional, or medical health issues, and to notify parents whenever such counseling occurs or when certain topics—including gender identity and sexual orientation—are discussed. The bill also prohibits school counselors from promoting the idea that a student's sex is different from their biological sex at birth.
