The bill amends the Revised School Code by adding Section 1509, which mandates the Department of Health and Human Services to create and distribute an informational notice regarding the dangers of high-potency THC cannabis products and vaping. This notice must be available in English, Spanish, and Arabic and is to be provided to both public and nonpublic schools by July 1, 2026. The department is also required to update this notice annually to reflect any new health education or medical research findings and ensure that it is disseminated to parents or guardians of students by October 1 of each year starting from the 2026-2027 school year.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that school boards and governing bodies must post a link to the department's webpage containing the notice on their respective websites. It also provides civil immunity to the department, schools, and their officials for any damages related to the informational notice. Definitions for "THC" and "vaping" are included to clarify the terms used in the section.
