What’s in it

AI summary Schools and charter schools would no longer be required to teach students about the vaccine that prevents human papilloma virus. This change affects the health and human development lessons provided to students in all Iowa schools.1

Read the official explanation

This bill relates to instruction provided to students enrolled in school districts, accredited nonpublic schools, and charter schools related to the availability of a vaccine to prevent the human papilloma virus. Current law requires that the human growth and development or health curriculum provided to students enrolled in school districts, accredited nonpublic schools, and charter schools be both research-based and age-appropriate. Within those limitations, current law also requires that the human growth and development or health curriculum include information regarding the availability of a vaccine to prevent human papilloma virus. The bill strikes this requirement.
