This bill establishes the position of a statewide Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) educator, appointed by the attorney general of Kansas. The educator will be responsible for providing instruction on drug abuse, specifically focusing on fentanyl and other opioid drugs, to students in public elementary and secondary schools. Additionally, the D.A.R.E. educator will report annually to the legislature regarding any curriculum modifications and will provide a list of the public schools that participate in the program. The bill also allows for the appointment of additional staff to support the D.A.R.E. educator's functions, contingent upon available appropriations.

The act emphasizes the importance of drug education in schools and aims to enhance the D.A.R.E. program's effectiveness in combating drug abuse among youth. It will take effect upon publication in the statute book, ensuring that the new position and its responsibilities are implemented promptly.
