AN ACT ESTABLISHING A RECOVERY SCHOOL IN CONNECTICUT.

HB 5127 would create a state-operated recovery school in Connecticut for high school students (grades 9-12) recovering from substance use disorder or co-occurring mental health disorders. The State Board of Education must establish this school to provide specialized educational and treatment services tailored to students in recovery. The bill directly affects students facing these health challenges by offering a dedicated learning environment separate from traditional schools. It mandates a new state-level program rather than modifying existing schools or policies. The law focuses on creating a specific educational pathway for this student group, with no additional funding or operational details specified in the text.
