Relating to the reporting of a controlled substance overdose occurring on the campus of a public school.

HB 2980 requires Texas public school districts to report any controlled substance overdose occurring on campus to both their school district and the Health and Human Services Commission executive commissioner "as soon as practicable." This applies directly to all public school campuses in Texas, mandating formal reporting of such incidents. The bill specifies that rules for implementation must comply with federal privacy laws like HIPAA and FERPA. The requirement takes effect September 1, 2025.
