Original Bill
Bill Digest

Staff Note: This bill takes sex education out of the hands of local school boards and parents. "Medical Accuracy" is really about controlling the content of abstinence education materials. If unchecked, this bill will eliminate "abstinence until marriage" education because it will eliminate funding on both the federal and state levels. The results will be loss of parental control or input on curriculum.
