AB309,1,2
1An Act to amend 118.019 (2m) of the statutes;
relating to: instruction in
2marriage and parental responsibility.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, if a school board provides an instructional program in
human growth and development, the program may include instruction in human
sexuality, reproduction, family planning, AIDS, prenatal development, childbirth,
adoption, available prenatal and postnatal support, and male and female
responsibility. If a school board provides instruction in any of these areas, it must
also provide instruction in marriage and parental responsibility.
This bill requires that instruction in marriage and parental responsibility be
a part of the same course, during the same school year, in which instruction in any
of the other areas is provided.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do
enact as follows:
