MS HB1390

Removes the July 1, 2026 sunset provision that would have repealed the requirement for school boards to adopt abstinence education policies.

Adds sexual risk avoidance education as an additional curriculum option alongside abstinence-only and abstinence-plus education.

Updates implementation deadline from 2012-2013 school year to 2023-2024 school year for districts to implement adopted curriculum.

Replaces outdated language by changing "out of wedlock" to "out of marriage" throughout the statute.

Maintains state standard that abstinence-only education remains the preferred approach, with approval of all sex-related curriculum required by the State Department of Education.
