Overview
This bill significantly alters sex education in Alabama’s public K-12 schools. It mandates that sex education curricula focus on ‘sexual risk avoidance’ and abstinence, prohibiting the promotion of abortions or demonstrations of contraceptives. Parents or guardians now have the right to opt their children out of sex education, and the Attorney General is authorized to enforce the law’s provisions. The bill also outlines specific content requirements, including information on responsible parenting, the impact of teen pregnancy, and legal consequences related to child support and sexual abuse.
