AI Summary
This bill, known as "Beau's law," requires colleges and universities in New York to publicly disclose their policies for notifying parents, guardians, or emergency contacts when a student under 21 years old is involved in alcohol or controlled substance violations. These violations can include rule infractions, legal violations, or incidents involving alcohol or drug-related hospitalizations or overdoses. Additionally, the bill mandates that these institutions conduct regular training for relevant administrators and staff on the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), specifically focusing on how FERPA guidelines apply to health and safety emergencies related to student alcohol or drug incidents.
