CA AB1766

Requires the Instructional Quality Commission to consider adding recommendations to the Health Education Framework (when revised on or after January 1, 2027) for annual, developmentally appropriate lessons on human trafficking prevention, online exploitation, deepfakes, digital citizenship, and protective skills for students in kindergarten through grade 12

Mandates that recommended lessons follow a cumulative, age-appropriate progression, with early grades focusing on nongraphic concepts like bodily autonomy, healthy touch, safe versus unsafe secrets, and identifying trusted adults, while later grades address more complex exploitation prevention topics

Recommends that local educational agencies (school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools) provide at least three staff members with annual training on identifying trafficking victims, trauma-responsive protocols, mandatory reporting, and supporting culturally diverse students

Specifies that at least two of the trained staff members should be school counselors, nurses, social workers, or psychologists, and at least one should be a certified classroom teacher

Requires all recommended instruction and training to be evidence-based, survivor-informed, culturally responsive, and aligned with trauma-responsive best practices and the California Healthy Youth Act
