Provide for human trafficking prevention education in public schools
This bill requires Montana public schools to include education on preventing child sex trafficking and human trafficking as part of their curriculum goals. It directs the Office of Public Instruction to develop resources, coordinate with community partners, and support school districts in creating awareness programs and prevention materials for students, teachers, and families. The law also adds a specific legislative goal to the state's education standards, ensuring schools work with parents to teach students how to recognize and avoid involvement in trafficking situations. These changes take effect on July 1, 2025.
