What’s in it

This bill requires school boards and authorities in charge of accredited nonpublic schools to establish procedures for a school nurse to provide a broad-spectrum cannabidiol product to a student. The procedures shall provide that a school nurse shall only provide a broad-spectrum cannabidiol product to a student if the product was provided to the school district or accredited nonpublic school by the parent or guardian of the student and if the product is provided in accordance with written instructions provided by the parent or guardian.
