HCS HB 1075 -- SCHOOL COURSE MATERIALS (Davis)

COMMITTEE OF ORIGIN:  Children and Families

This substitute revises the current requirements for presenting
information in public schools relating to contraception and
sexually transmitted diseases.  School districts and charter
schools are prohibited from providing abortion services or
allowing a person or entity who provides abortion services,
except for licensed hospitals, from offering, sponsoring, or
furnishing course materials related to human sexuality and
sexually transmitted diseases.  Course materials may also include
the benefits of a lifelong monogamous marriage between a man and
a woman.

Currently, curriculum materials must be made available for
inspection prior to their use.  The substitute 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.

FISCAL NOTE:  No impact on state funds in FY 2007, FY 2008, and
FY 2009.
