Relating to fentanyl prevention and drug poisoning awareness education for students enrolled in public institutions of higher education.
HB 3062 requires public Texas institutions of higher education to provide research-based fentanyl prevention and drug poisoning awareness education to all entering undergraduate students during their first semester. The curriculum must cover suicide prevention, fentanyl abuse prevention, local resource access, and substance use education for young adults. Institutions may deliver this instruction online or through approved partners like libraries, health agencies, or mental health organizations. The requirement applies to students enrolling for the 2026 fall semester and became effective immediately after the governor signed it on June 20, 2025.
