HB 692 Reporting theft of student prescription medications.

Introduced by: Robert Tata | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Reporting of certain acts to school authorities. Adds theft or attempted theft of student prescription medications to those incidents required to be reported to school authorities, that, in turn, are to be reported to the division superintendent for annual reporting to the Department of Education. Principals are required to report the enumerated acts to law enforcement if constituting a criminal offense.

Current law limits these various reporting requirements to actions involving weapons, violence, and conduct involving alcohol, marijuana, a controlled substance, imitation controlled substance, or an anabolic steroid on a school bus, on school property, or at a school-sponsored activity.

This bill is a recommendation of the HJR 660 Joint Subcommittee to Investigate the Improper Prescription and Illegal Use and Diversion of Ritalin and OxyContin and to Study the Effects of Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder on Student Performance.
