HB 151 Utah House · 2026 General Session

Teaching Materials Amendments

HB 151 exempts certain courses - like Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, medical, and family and consumer science classes - from standard sensitive material review requirements when parents provide consent. It directly affects students in these courses and their parents, who must explicitly approve access to materials deemed "subjective sensitive" (e.g., content considered harmful to minors). The bill adds a parental consent pathway for these courses, allowing schools to temporarily permit such materials during review if parents consent, while maintaining prohibitions on "objective sensitive material" (e.g., pornographic content). This changes how schools handle parental input for specific course materials without altering the core ban on prohibited content.
