Bill > S2946

This bill, the School Access to Naloxone Act of 2023, amends the Public Health Service Act to provide funding for trained school personnel to administer drugs and devices, such as naloxone, for the emergency treatment of known or suspected opioid overdoses in public and private elementary and secondary schools. The bill requires certifications from schools, including that they have a program to allow trained personnel to administer the drugs and devices, maintain a supply of them, and have trained personnel on the premises during all operating hours. The bill also addresses civil liability protection for the trained personnel administering the emergency treatments.
