Cannabis and substance use education requirements modification

This bill modifies Minnesota's school health education requirements to mandate comprehensive cannabis and substance use education programs for middle and high school students, starting in the 2025-2026 school year. School districts and charter schools must implement programs covering topics like fentanyl use, emphasizing respect for community values and encouraging students to discuss concerns with parents or trusted adults. The programs must also connect students to local resources for accurate information and treatment options regarding substance use. These requirements apply to all public schools in Minnesota and align with existing education statutes.
