Senate Substitute for HB 2382 by Committee on Education - Requiring school districts to include a fetal development presentation as part of the curriculum for any course that addresses human growth, human development or human sexuality and authorizing the state board of education to establish the rate of compensation for members of the board.
HB 2382 requires Kansas public school districts to include a mandatory 3-minute visual presentation of early fetal development - showing brain, heart, and vital organ growth - in any course covering human growth, development, or sexuality. This applies to all schools offering such courses, directly affecting students and curriculum design. The presentation must be a high-quality animation or ultrasound, selected by the school district. The bill does not alter funding, teacher training, or course content beyond this specific visual requirement.

MODERATE
The bill was amended to add a new requirement for school districts to include a specific fetal development presentation in courses covering human growth or sexuality. Additionally, the compensation section was modified to allow the State Board of Education to set its own compensation rates rather than tying them directly to the legislature's daily rate, and the act was formally enrolled for signing.
Scope change
The bill's scope expanded to include a new mandate for educational content regarding fetal development, while the applicability of the compensation section shifted from a fixed legislative rate to a rate determined by the State Board of Education.
REQUIREMENT
Added a mandatory requirement for school districts to include a high-quality animation or ultrasound of fetal development (showing brain, heart, and organs) lasting at least three minutes in relevant courses.
FISCAL
Changed the compensation calculation for State Board of Education members from a fixed daily rate tied to the legislature to a rate established by the State Board itself.
TECHNICAL
Removed the specific mathematical formula and dollar amounts previously used to calculate the daily compensation rate for board members.
Updated the act title to reflect the new fetal development curriculum requirement and the change in how board member compensation is authorized.
