SB 371 Wisconsin Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Relating to: explaining pregnancy, prenatal development, and childbirth as part of a human growth and development instructional program. (FE)

SB 371 requires public schools to include specific content in human growth and development classes about pregnancy, prenatal development, and childbirth. It mandates two key instructional tools: a high-definition ultrasound video showing fetal organ development week-by-week, and a presentation detailing each trimester's impact on a mother's physical and emotional health. The bill directly affects public school curricula in human growth and development courses, setting concrete requirements for the instructional materials used. It does not alter existing curriculum standards but specifies the exact content and format for this particular topic. The bill is currently under review in the Education Committee.
