AI Summary
This bill requires public higher education institutions that provide student housing to establish campus recovery-focused housing programs designed to support students recovering from substance use disorder. Specifically, these programs must create alcohol and drug-free living environments and offer supportive services such as trauma-informed counseling, mentoring, and peer support. Additionally, the bill mandates that these institutions provide overdose training to all students, faculty, and staff, and ensure the availability of naloxone (a medication used to rapidly reverse opioid overdose) on campus. The goal of the legislation is to create safer, more supportive educational environments for students in recovery from substance use disorders, recognizing the challenges these students face and providing comprehensive resources to support their academic and personal success while maintaining sobriety.
