New college students get fentanyl prevention education

Starting with fall 2026 entrants, Texas public colleges and universities must provide entering undergraduates research-based fentanyl prevention and drug poisoning education. Schools must provide it as soon as practical during each student's first semester or term. Lessons must cover suicide prevention, fentanyl abuse and addiction prevention, and substance-use health education, including young adult substance use. They must also explain campus and community support resources and how to access them. Schools may offer instruction online or through public or private colleges, libraries, community groups, religious groups, local public-health agencies, or organizations employing mental-health professionals.
