This bill amends section 3313.6022 and enacts several new sections related to school policies on the administration of overdose reversal drugs and the limits on student attendance in released time courses for religious instruction. The bill requires school districts to adopt policies that allow students to be excused from school for religious instruction, with specific conditions such as parental consent, maintenance of attendance records by the sponsoring entity, and no public funds being used for the instruction. It also sets limits on the amount of time students can be excused for these courses, with provisions for high school students to earn credit for completed courses based on secular criteria.

Additionally, the bill establishes requirements for school districts that choose to maintain a supply of overdose reversal drugs, mandating the adoption of policies for their maintenance and use. It allows for the acceptance of donations to purchase these drugs and requires reporting on their use in emergency situations. The new sections apply to various types of schools, including chartered and nonchartered nonpublic schools, community schools, STEM schools, and college-preparatory boarding schools, ensuring that they adhere to the same standards as public school districts regarding overdose reversal drugs. The bill also includes a provision that prevents courts from awarding monetary damages for claims related to section 3313.6022 for a specified period.
