The General Assembly enacted legislation creating a pilot recovery high school program for students with substance abuse addictions. The Affiliate had a number of initial concerns about the legislation, testifying in committee that the bill did not ensure that participation in these schools was voluntary for the students, and failed to contain adequate privacy protections. These concerns were addressed in the final version of the bill passed by both Houses.
