Bill > HB0361

This bill amends existing Utah law to require the Division of Integrated Healthcare to create training and educational materials specifically focused on recognizing drug overdoses. The bill adds a new provision to the division's responsibilities that mandates the development of educational resources about drug overdose recognition. As part of this initiative, these materials will need to be incorporated into existing alcohol training and education seminars, which are mandatory for certain retail staff who serve alcoholic beverages. The bill also includes a specific protection clause stating that receiving these drug overdose training materials does not create additional legal liability for individuals or their employers. The new training materials will be part of a broader effort by the division to educate the public about substance use and mental health issues, with the goal of providing resources that can potentially help prevent or respond to drug overdose situations. The bill is set to take effect on May 7, 2025, giving the division time to develop and implement the new training materials.
