What’s in it

This bill provides that age-appropriate and research-based instruction in human growth and development, which each school board shall provide to students enrolled in grades through 12, must include instruction regarding consent. The bill defines “consent” as affirmative, conscious, and voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity. It is a responsibility of each person involved in sexual activity to ensure that the other or others consent to engage in the sexual activity. Consent must be ongoing throughout a sexual activity and can be revoked at any time.
