Relates to health education pertaining to cannabis

This bill requires all New York public schools to include age-appropriate health education about cannabis use in their curricula, alongside existing lessons on alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. It affects students in every grade level, mandating that elementary schools teach basic prevention, while secondary schools must integrate detailed instruction into required health courses, including student assessments. Schools must use curricula approved by the state education commissioner, updated every three years to reflect current information on cannabis risks and trends among youth. Teachers must hold health education certification, and the state will provide updated materials to support this instruction.
