Why this matters
This creates a narrow new duty for DHHS to produce youth-focused educational materials on high-potency THC and cannabis risks, inserting a public-health messaging role into the K-12 system without altering cannabis law or school funding. It extends DHHS’s health-education footprint in schools alongside other mandated curricula and referral programs.
