Utah's required public school health curriculum would gain a new topic under this bill: "social health," defined as a student's ability to build, maintain, and improve mutually beneficial relationships with family, friends, peers, co-workers, online connections, and the broader community, while pursuing a healthy relationship with oneself. This topic would be added alongside existing required subjects like human development, marriage and safe dating, refusal skills, resilience, and situational awareness. The bill also changes how often this instruction must be given—rather than requiring specific topics in kindergarten through 6th grade and then all topics twice in grades 7-12, the current version simply requires that students receive the full set of health instruction topics, including social health, on at least two occasions between the start of 7th grade and the end of 12th grade, without a separate elementary-specific requirement.
