Public school health curriculum in Utah already includes required instruction on human development as part of broader lessons on topics like abstinence, safe dating, and personal health. Starting with the 2027–2028 school year, this bill would require every school district and charter school to include, as part of that human development instruction, a high-definition video at least three minutes long showing fertilization and each stage of fetal development in the uterus through birth, noting developmental age and key growth milestones, and potentially including ultrasound footage of organ development; the video must come from an organization that provides it free of charge and must be on a list of approved materials that the State Board of Education is required to publish on its website. Schools would also be required to make any instructional materials used for this unit available to a parent upon request and to submit an annual assurance to the State Board confirming compliance with these requirements.
