Michigan Senate Bill SB0433

Introduced
6/24/25  

Caption

State agencies (existing): health and human services; educational materials regarding health dangers for youth using high-potency THC and cannabis products; require the department to provide. Amends 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1 - 380.1852) by adding sec. 1509.

Impact

The bill's impact will extend to the educational framework within Michigan's school systems. Starting from the 2026-2027 academic year, school boards are required to ensure that parents and legal guardians receive this informational notice by a specified deadline each year. Furthermore, schools will need to provide a link to the DHHS website that houses this essential health information, enhancing community awareness about the dangers of high-potency THC products and vaping.

Summary

Senate Bill 433 aims to address the health risks associated with high-potency THC cannabis products and vaping among youth in Michigan. The bill mandates that by July 1, 2026, the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) must develop and disseminate an informational notice about these risks in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, and Arabic. This notice will be provided to both public and nonpublic schools and shared on the department's website, thereby ensuring broad access to critical health information.

Contention

Notable points of contention around SB 433 may arise from concerns regarding parental rights and the autonomy of schools in health education. Some stakeholders may argue about the effectiveness and necessity of government-mandated education materials, questioning whether the implementation timeline and yearly updates are adequate for addressing the rapidly evolving landscape of health information related to cannabis and vaping products. Moreover, the bill includes provisions that grant immunity from civil liability to the DHHS and educational institutions for damages related to the notice, which may spur debate about accountability and the protection of student welfare.
