Makes a conforming change.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1

Makes changes concerning the provision of services. Provides that, beginning with the 2025-2026 school year, each public institution of higher education with student health services shall make available, on the public institution of higher education's student health services' website, information on how students can access medication contraception on campus.
