          of educational materials relating to substance abuse  among  students;
          and  to  amend  the  education  law, in relation to the designation of
          employees  to  provide  information  regarding  substance   abuse   to
          students, parents and staff
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. Section 19.07 of the  mental  hygiene  law  is  amended  by
     2  adding a new subdivision (l) to read as follows:
     3    (l)  The office of alcoholism and substance abuse services, in consul-
     4  tation with the state education department,  shall  develop  or  utilize
     5  existing  educational  materials  to be provided to school districts and
     6  boards of cooperative educational services for use in addition to or  in
     7  conjunction  with  any drug and alcohol related curriculum regarding the
     8  misuse and abuse of alcohol, tobacco, prescription medication and  other
     9  drugs  with  an  increased  focus  on substances that are most prevalent
    10  among school aged youth as such term is defined in section eight hundred
    11  four of the education law. Such materials shall be age  appropriate  for
    12  school age children, and to the extent practicable, shall include infor-
    13  mation  or  resources  for  parents  to  identify  the warning signs and
    14  address the risks of substance abuse.
    15    § 2. The education law is amended by adding a new section 3038 to read
    16  as follows:
    17    § 3038. The superintendent of each school  district,  in  consultation
    18  with  the  district superintendent of a board of cooperative educational
    19  services, where applicable, shall designate an employee who is a  member
    20  of  the school district staff or an employee of the board of cooperative
    21  educational services  staff  to  provide  information  to  any  student,
    22  parent, or staff regarding where and how to find available substance use
 
         EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                              [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                   LBD11157-01-7

     1  related services.  Where possible, such designated individual shall be a
     2  school  social  worker,  school  guidance counselor, or any other health
     3  practitioner or  counselor  employed  by  the  school.  Any  information
     4  provided  by  a student, parent or teacher to such designated individual
     5  shall be confidential, shall not be  used  in  any  school  disciplinary
     6  proceeding  and shall, in addition to any other applicable privilege, be
     7  considered confidential in  the  same  manner  as  information  provided
     8  pursuant  to  section forty-five hundred eight of the civil practice law
     9  and rules. Provided, however, that nothing in this section shall relieve
    10  such designated individual of any legal duty to  otherwise  report  such
    11  information. Such designated individual or individuals shall undergo any
    12  necessary training as may be required by the commissioner.
    13    § 3. This act shall take effect on the one hundred twentieth day after

    15  the commissioner of education, in consultation with the commissioner  of
    16  the  office of alcoholism and substance abuse services, shall be author-
    17  ized to adopt regulations necessary to implement the provisions of  this
    18  act on or before such effective date.
