To Create The Arkansas Healthy Lifestyle Education Act Of 2025; And To Ensure The Health Curriculum In Arkansas Public Schools Addresses Certain Health Issues Facing Students.
This bill, HB1031, aims to create the Arkansas Healthy Lifestyle Education Act of 2025. It seeks to ensure that health curriculums in Arkansas public schools cover certain health issues facing students. The bill was introduced on November 20, 2024, and was referred to the Education Committee in the House. After undergoing several stages, including amendments and a second reading, the bill ultimately failed and died in the House Committee on May 5, 2025.
If passed, the bill would affect all students in Arkansas public schools, potentially enhancing their education on health-related topics. The bill was sponsored by Denise Garner and co-sponsored by Andrew Collins and Joy Springer.
Currently, the bill is no longer active as it failed in the House Committee. This means it did not progress to a vote in the full House or Senate, and thus, will not become law.
