California enacted a law giving college students access to rehabilitation services before campus disciplinary action after an overdose. The statute is designed to reduce barriers for students who might otherwise avoid calling for help for fear of punishment, and it creates new procedural expectations for campus conduct offices and student health services. Universities in the state will need to revise conduct codes and align medical‑amnesty protocols with the new statutory protections, coordinate with campus counseling and third‑party treatment providers, and update trainings for residence life and public‑safety staff to prioritize health interventions over punitive measures.
