Requires fetal development instruction in Texas public schools for grades six through eight.

This bill mandates that the State Board of Education include fetal development instruction in the health curriculum for students in grades six through eight. The instruction must cover the humanity of the unborn child and the concept that life begins at fertilization. It must also show specific videos each year: LiveAction's "Meet Baby Olivia," St. John Paul II Life Center's "A Glimpse Inside," and NOVA's "The Miracle of Life." The changes will take effect starting with the 2025-2026 school year.
