Digest

Requires a school corporation to include certain information concerning instruction on human sexuality in a written consent form provided to a parent of a student or a student, if the student is an adult or an emancipated minor, before the student may receive instruction on human sexuality. Requires the governing body of a school corporation to publish a list of materials used in connection with instruction on human sexuality on the school's website and to include a link to the list of materials on electronically formatted written consent forms. Provides that, if a school provides instruction on human sexuality or sexually transmitted infections, the instruction must include: (1) the importance of consent to sexual activity; and (2) a presentation on human growth and development during pregnancy. Replaces references to "sexually transmitted diseases" with "sexually transmitted infections".
