SB230

Pennsylvania SB230 mandates parental control over instructional materials and books with sexually explicit content in schools.

Pennsylvania SB230 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to require school entities to develop policies ensuring parental control over instructional materials and books containing sexually explicit content. The policies must identify specific materials and books with explicit content, seek public input, and implement an opt-in form for parents to permit their child's access to such content. The bill defines sexual conduct and sexually explicit content, and prohibits schools from deeming explicit content appropriate for minors. The act takes effect in 60 days.
