AI-generated summary, not yet reviewed by Better Utah staff. Please consult the bill text.
Under current Utah law, public schools are prohibited from using "sensitive materials" — content meeting legal definitions of pornographic or indecent material — anywhere in a school setting, with a few automatic exemptions for certain courses, including concurrent enrollment classes, medical courses, and family and consumer science courses, as long as parents are notified and consent by enrolling their child. This bill would expand that exemption list to also include Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate courses, meaning materials used in those courses would not be subject to the sensitive-materials ban as long as the course provider notifies parents of the content beforehand and parents give consent by enrolling their child in the course. The bill would take effect July 1, 2026.
