SB 887 requires public school human growth and development classes to include instruction on adoption, parental responsibility, and the socioeconomic benefits of marriage for adults and their children.

The legislation focuses on adding these educational components to existing classroom instruction without altering funding or creating new programs. It was introduced in the 2026 legislature and referred to the Education Committee.
