The bill aims to address the rising public health crisis related to fentanyl and other synthetic opioids, particularly among adolescents. It establishes a statewide drug overdose prevention and awareness campaign led by the Department of Health, which will focus on educating the public about the dangers of methamphetamines and opioids, including fentanyl. The campaign will target both youth and adults, providing resources for addiction treatment and emphasizing the risks of drug contamination with synthetic opioids. Additionally, the bill mandates annual reporting to the legislature on the campaign's effectiveness and outreach efforts.

Furthermore, the bill requires the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction to collaborate with health authorities to develop and distribute age-appropriate substance use prevention materials for schools. It also mandates updates to health education standards to include opioids and their lethality. The act is set to take effect immediately and will expire if specific funding is not provided by June 30, 2024. The legislation is officially titled the Lucas Petty Act.
