Measure Title: RELATING TO SUBSTANCE ABUSE.
Report Title: Drug Assessments; Certified Substance Abuse Counselors
Description: Makes permanent provisions allowing a child who violates the zero tolerance policy for drugs and alcohol in public schools to return to school earlier than indicated in the original disciplinary determination following the completion of a substance abuse assessment and related treatment or counseling. Requires public schools to screen students facing substance abuse-related discipline to determine if there is a need for a substance abuse assessment referral. Requires the parent or legal guardian of a child facing discipline but who has been assessed as not needing treatment to consent to follow-up counseling for the child's family. Requires school administrators to review and determine the nature and severity of the child's offense, its impact on others, the offender's age, and whether the child is a repeat offender. Allows certified substance abuse counselors to conduct substance abuse assessments qualifying individuals for substance abuse-related insurance benefits. Requires assessments to be completed within ten days for children facing substance abuse-related school discipline. (HB2212 HD1)
