SHIELD Act

This bill would change federal education law to add the sharing of information about abortion or abortion-related services with students to the list of school activities that require direct notice to parents. It would bar local school districts that receive funds under covered federal programs from allowing organizations that provide abortions, or their subsidiaries, to share abortion-related information with students. The ban would cover school grounds and the district's virtual platforms, including the district sharing or reposting such information on social media for those organizations. The bill also defines an abortion-related service as medical, surgical, or support care directly related to ending a pregnancy.
