This bill is in the drafting process. Language is not yet available, very likely similar to 2011's HB 456 which sought to create statewide regulations for the implementation of sexuality education curriculum in Montana Public Schools by forcing schools to asks parents to OPT their child IN to sex education classes; and would have banned any organization that provides abortions from teaching sex education in public schools. By limiting access through unnecessary regulation and preventing experienced sex educators from educating Montana’s young people, teens would not get the reliable information they need to make healthy and responsible decisions about sex so that we may reduce unintended pregnancies and STI rates. HB 456 passed out of the House 67-30 and passed out of the Senate 26-24. Gov. Brian Schweitzer vetoed the bill on 4/13/11. There was an unsuccessful attempt to override the governor’s veto in the House. A "no” vote was a pro-choice vote.
