AI Summary

This bill proposes to expand access to naloxone, an opioid antagonist medication that can reverse opioid overdoses. The key provisions require healthcare practitioners to co-prescribe naloxone along with any opioid prescription if certain conditions are met, such as the patient being prescribed a high dose of opioids, being prescribed both opioids and benzodiazepines, or having a history of opioid use disorder or overdose. The bill aims to increase access to this life-saving medication and reduce opioid-related deaths.
