Bill > S01270

This bill requires all high schools to obtain and keep opioid antagonists (medications like Narcan that can rapidly reverse opioid overdoses) on-site and have a trained employee responsible for their storage, maintenance, and administration. Specifically, high schools must designate at least one employee who has completed an approved training course in using opioid antagonists, and ensure that a trained employee is present during all school hours and after-school activities who can administer these medications in the event of a potential overdose. The requirement aims to improve emergency preparedness and potentially save lives by having trained personnel and life-saving medication readily available to respond quickly to opioid overdose situations in high school settings. The bill amends the existing education law by adding this new requirement and will take effect immediately upon passage.
