school personnel; reporting; drug offenses

SB 1589 strengthens Arizona's drug enforcement near schools by increasing penalties for drug offenses within 300 feet of school grounds, school buses, or bus stops. It requires all school staff to immediately report drug violations to administrators, who must then notify law enforcement - failure to report is a misdemeanor. The bill also mandates that schools include specific data on drug-related incidents requiring law enforcement contact in their annual public report cards. These changes directly affect school personnel, students, and law enforcement, with the goal of increasing accountability and transparency around drug activity in school zones.
