Obtained a copy of the committee sub on HB 470 and it is a doozy. #KYGA23

🧵

Basically, they took SB 150, added a lil spice, and dumped it into HB 470.

By added a lil spice, I mean adding:

-no convos on human sexuality or STDs before 6th grade
-parents must provide written consent for 6th grade+ to learn about those topics

big change here: no study of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression regardless of grade level

any lessons, materials, etc etc tied to lessons on human sexuality must be open for parent inspection

another big change: would require districts to have a meeting w/ public comment on what their bathroom policies should be then adopt policies re bathrooms to protect the "privacy rights" outlined in the bill - which are similar to the preludes of bathroom ban bills

so basically, hb 470 and sb 150 got smashed together, and now have "don't say gay" language AND language likely to force districts to enforce their own bathroom bans on trans and nonbinary kids

in committee 9 a.m. tomorrow. #KYGA23
