Sex Education Instruction Amendments
HB 566 amends Utah law by removing "human sexuality" from the legal definition of "sex education instruction" that requires parental consent. This change affects Utah schools and parents, as it alters which topics - like human reproduction, anatomy, or contraception - fall under the parental consent requirement. The bill specifically deletes "human sexuality" from the list of covered topics in Section 53G-10-403, making it a technical adjustment to the existing definition. The law takes effect July 1, 2025, with no new funding or major policy shifts beyond this definitional update.
