Pupil instruction: drug education.

Existing law states legislative intent that schools are encouraged to give instruction in grades 7 to 12, inclusive, in science, health, drug abuse, or physical education programs a lesson on the effects of the use of anabolic steroids. This bill would provide that the Legislature encourages schools, commencing with the 2020–21 school year, to include in instruction in science, health, drug abuse, or physical education programs for pupils in grades 7 to 12, inclusive, a lesson on the effects of the use of peptide hormones, growth factors, and related substances and mimetics, and would make related legislative findings and declarations.
