S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 7727 2013-2014 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y May 31, 2013 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. NOLAN -- read once and referred to the Committee on Education AN ACT to amend the education law, in relation to a mental health educa- tion curriculum THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative intent. The legislature recognizes the impor- tance of providing a quality education to all New York students. Quality education must continue to include comprehensive health education. While schools presently provide instruction in health education, the legisla- ture finds it important that the law provide the flexibility to reflect current learning standards and curriculum development as administered by the New York State Education Department and local school districts. Furthermore, it is important that statute recognize developing technolo- gy and existing curriculum materials to ensure that schools and teachers are provided with the most beneficial health education information, and that both health and mental health are taught with the idea of prevention, cure and control and without stigma or emotional harm. The law should provide flexibility to allow the commissioner of education to respond to the changing needs of the educational community to provide students with the tools and resources to live healthy lives, as it will only serve to improve educational performance and student outcomes. S 2. Section 804 of the education law, as added by chapter 982 of the laws of 1977, the section heading as amended and subdivision 3-a as added by chapter 401 of the laws of 1998, subdivision 3 as amended by chapter 674 of the laws of 2004, and subdivision 4 as amended by chapter 181 of the laws of 2000, is amended to read as follows: S 804. Health education [regarding alcohol, drugs, tobacco abuse and the prevention and detection of certain cancers]. 1. All schools [shall] ARE ENCOURAGED TO include, as an integral part of health education, instruction [so as to discourage the misuse and abuse of alcohol, tobac- co, and other drugs and promote attitudes and behavior that enhance health, well being, and human dignity.] IN THE UNDERSTANDINGS, ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIORS WITH REGARD TO THE SEVERAL DIMENSIONS OF HEALTH.
