2025 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
OPPOSED BILLS

H,B. 81 -- Fluoride Amendments (Rep. Gricius, S.)
Prohibits adding fluoride to public water systems; ▸requires the Department of Health and Human Services to issue standing prescription drug orders for fluoride supplements; and ▸requires a pharmacist who dispenses fluoride supplements to a patient to provide patient counseling.
H.B. 281 -- Health Curriculum and Procedures Amendments (Rep. Gricius, S.)
Adds new requirements to Utah's sex education curriculum while also editing and re-arranging key phrases and terms on the list of allowable topics to teach in health and maturation classes. In addition, HB281 incorporates some of the suggested edits USBOE made to the sex education code in August 2024. Overall, HB281 is not a harmful bill for existing sex education topics and teaching—but it does introduce new and complex concepts ("success sequence", "situational awareness") and requirements for school districts and health educators. This bill mainly edits to the two sections of Utah code that deal with sex education: 53G-10-402 and 53G-10-403 — which are complex and meaningful sections where every word counts. 
H.B. 233 -- School Curriculum Amendments (Rep. N. Peck)

Prevents organizations that provide elective abortions (like Planned Parenthood) or their affiliates from being involved in teaching or providing health-related materials in Utah public schools. This bill would also bar Utah’s public schools from using educational materials created by any organization that provides elective abortions. It allows the Utah State Board of Education to assign penalties and withhold state funding for any school district that violates this provision. 

PPAU's Education team provides opt-in, classroom instruction in two Utah school districts: Salt Lake City, and Granite, as well as for Utah private schools and community groups. For K-12 instruction, PPAU educators follow all state curriculum guidelines and all teaching materials and lesson plans are approved by each district’s Human Sexuality Instruction and Committee.
