HB 233 Utah House · 2025 General Session

School Curriculum Amendments

HB 233 prohibits Utah public school districts from allowing entities that perform elective abortions or their affiliates to provide health education instruction, materials, or media in state-funded schools. It defines "affiliate" broadly to include entities sharing ownership, management, or branding, and bans even debranded health curriculum tied to such organizations. The state board can impose fines or withhold state funding for violations, with enforcement rules to be developed under Utah Administrative Rulemaking. The law takes effect July 1, 2025.
