This bill amends existing education standards in Minnesota to require the inclusion of overdose prevention education within the cannabis use and substance use education curriculum for students in grades 6 through 12. Specifically, it adds the requirement for education on overdose recognition, prevention, and response to the current health-related subject areas that schools must teach. The bill aims to enhance the health education provided to students by addressing the critical issue of overdose, particularly in the context of substance use.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the changes will take effect the day following final enactment. This amendment is part of a broader effort to ensure that students receive comprehensive health education that includes vital information on managing and preventing overdose situations, thereby promoting safer practices among youth.
