What This Bill Proposed
School districts in Kansas would be required to provide fentanyl abuse education to students in grades 9 through 12 and maintain a stock supply of nasal spray in every school under a legislative measure. The bill authorizes the attorney general to award grants from the Kansas fights addiction fund to help districts purchase naloxone.
School districts face new operational requirements to store emergency overdose medication, adopt administration policies, and incorporate opioid prevention into high school curricula, backed by potential grant funding from opioid settlement proceeds.
- The Kansas Fights Addiction Fund was established to manage and distribute state revenues obtained from nationwide opioid litigation settlements. context
