What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law requires the Department of Public Instruction (department) to

develop and conduct training programs for the professional staff of public, private,

and tribal schools in alcohol and other drug abuse prevention, intervention, and

instruction programs. This bill requires the department to include the screening,

brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) program in its alcohol and

other drug abuse intervention and instruction programs beginning six months after

the effective date of the bill and to offer SBIRT training to a school district upon the

district's request. If a school district requests training in SBIRT, the school district

must administer the SBIRT program to all pupils enrolled in the school district in

at least one of the grades 6 to 12. Finally, the bill requires the department to submit,

by January 1, 2017, a report to the Joint Committee on Finance regarding

implementation and efficacy of the SBIRT program and making recommendations

about expanding the program.
