WV HB4655

Expands Laken's Law to require fentanyl, heroin, and opioid awareness education for students in grades 3-12, lowering the starting grade from the current 6th grade

Mandatory annual instruction includes teaching about opioid awareness and prevention, life-saving use of FDA-approved opioid reversal agents, and available state and community resources

Expanded instruction for grades 3-5 would begin in the 2026-2027 school year

Changes language from "will" to "shall" throughout the statute to strengthen the mandatory nature of the requirements
