CURRENT BILL SUMMARY
SB 432 - This act revises current law requirements for the presentation of information in public schools relating to contraception and sexually transmitted diseases.
Current law asserts that students must be presented with the latest medically factual information regarding side effects, health benefits, and failure rates for methods of prevention of pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases. This act alters this provision, adding the requirement that students be presented information on contraceptives, pregnancy, and abortion in a manner consistent with federal abstinence laws.
School districts and charter schools are prohibited from providing abortion services or allowing a person or entity who provides abortion services from offering, sponsoring, or furnishing course materials related to human sexuality and sexually transmitted diseases.
The act explicitly states that its provisions are applicable to charter schools.
