SB 1251, introduced by Senator Bailey in 2025, would have required public schools in Tennessee to report student drug overdoses (in grades K-12) to school officials within seven business days of diagnosis or treatment. The bill aimed to amend multiple Tennessee Code sections (including education and health laws) to establish this reporting timeline. However, the bill was filed on February 6, 2025, and withdrawn the next day (February 7) without further action. It never became law and did not affect any current policies or individuals.
