Assembly Bill 1228 aims to enhance the personal development educational goals for school districts in Wisconsin by incorporating specific awareness about fentanyl and the use of an opioid antagonist into the existing curriculum. Currently, school boards are required to provide instructional programs that include objectives related to drug abuse and prevention. The proposed amendment modifies the existing language to explicitly include awareness about fentanyl and opioid antagonists alongside general drug abuse and prevention education.

The bill amends section 118.01 (2) (d) 2. d. of the statutes by deleting the phrase "including prescription drug abuse" and inserting new language that specifies the need for awareness about "fentanyl; and the use of an opioid antagonist." This change reflects a targeted approach to address the growing concerns surrounding fentanyl and its impact on drug abuse. The new requirements will first apply to instruction provided in the 2026-27 school year.
