   On page 2, after line 12, insert the following:

   "(4) At least fourteen days before teaching organ donation awareness, each school district shall notify parents or guardians of the presentation, that the curricula materials are available for inspection, and that parents or guardians may request in writing that their students be excused from the instruction. No student may be required to participate in organ donation awareness instruction if the student's parent or guardian requests in writing that the student be excused from such instruction, and the student shall not be academically penalized due to being excused."

EFFECT: Requires school districts to provide notice to parents or guardians at least two weeks before providing instruction regarding organ donation awareness. Allows parents and guardians to request that their children be excused from the instruction.
