STUDENTS: Provides relative to behavioral health services for students (EN NO IMPACT See Note)
HB 872 is a procedural amendment bill that modifies the text of an existing education-related measure by adding a specific subsection labeled "(D)" to two separate lines. The legislation does not introduce new policies or services but instead updates the structure of a bill concerning behavioral health services for students. Because this is a technical change to the bill's language rather than a standalone policy proposal, it does not directly affect students or schools on its own. The amendment was passed by the committee and is moving through the legislative process to be added to the parent bill.
