Requests the Legislative Education Study Committee to review existing comprehensive human sexuality education standards and programming across New Mexico school districts

Cites that 22% of youth have engaged in sexual intercourse by age 15, increasing to 56% by age 18, with more than half not using effective birth control

Notes that despite current New Mexico laws requiring human sexuality education before graduation, not all students receive comprehensive instruction and access is unequal across schools

Requires committee staff to submit a report with recommendations for legislative action by December 1, 2026

Aims to identify opportunities for improvement in how standards are implemented to address unintended pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, consent education, and healthy relationships
