AI Summary

This bill aims to further the success of opiate intervention programs by allowing state and municipal law enforcement personnel and emergency medical personnel, such as EMTs, paramedics, and firefighters, to provide and transfer opioid antagonists (medications used to reverse opioid overdoses) to individuals at substantial risk of experiencing an opioid-related overdose event, along with instructions on how to administer the medication. This is intended to provide opioid overdose protection to those individuals, based on the personnel's good-faith judgment and understanding of the individual's prior opioid use.
