Requires institutions of higher education make available their policy on notifying the parent, guardian, or emergency contact of a student under twenty-one of certain controlled substance or alcohol violations

Colleges publish notification policies and train staff

New York colleges must publish their policies on notifying a parent, guardian, or emergency contact about students under 21. These policies cover alcohol or controlled-substance violations of school rules or federal, state, or local law, including related hospitalizations or overdoses. The law does not require notification in every case. Colleges must regularly train relevant administrators and staff on federal student-record privacy rules for health and safety emergencies, including responses to alcohol- or drug-related hospitalizations or overdoses. Each college chooses the staff involved and the training schedule and details. These requirements begin July 1 of the year after the law becomes law; rules needed to implement them can be adopted, changed, or repealed immediately.
