HB 1075 -- School Course Materials

Sponsor:  Davis

This bill revises existing requirements for presenting
information in public schools relating to contraception and
sexually transmitted diseases.  Students must be informed that
personally and medically relevant information concerning
contraception, abortion, and pregnancy may be obtained from their
family practitioner rather than presenting students with the
latest medically factual information regarding side effects,
health benefits, and failure rates for methods of prevention of
pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.  Currently,
curriculum materials must be made available for inspection prior
to use.  The bill clarifies that the materials should be
available one week before use and also requires that schools must
make known the instructor's name and any affiliation with an
entity involved with human sexuality instruction at least one
week in advance.  No entity providing abortion services is
permitted to furnish materials or instruction.  The bill also
clarifies that its provisions are applicable to charter schools.
