This bill establishes the position of a statewide Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) educator, appointed by the attorney general, to enhance drug abuse education in Kansas public schools. The D.A.R.E. educator will be responsible for providing instruction on drug abuse, including a curriculum that covers fentanyl and other opioid drugs, to students in both elementary and secondary schools. Additionally, the educator will report annually to the legislature on any curriculum modifications and the public schools that participate in the program.

To support the D.A.R.E. educator's functions, the attorney general may appoint additional staff as needed, within the limits of available appropriations. The bill emphasizes the importance of drug education and aims to strengthen the D.A.R.E. program's impact in Kansas by ensuring that students receive up-to-date and relevant information regarding drug abuse. The act will take effect upon its publication in the statute book.
