Bill > HF862

This bill requires the Board of Trustees of Minnesota State Colleges and Universities to maintain a supply of opiate antagonists (medication used to reverse opioid overdoses, such as naloxone) at each campus site, with the Board of Regents of the University of Minnesota also being requested to do the same. Specifically, each campus residential building must have at least two doses of a nasal opiate antagonist available on site. The bill also tasks the commissioner of health with identifying and providing resources, including at least one training video, to help postsecondary institutions implement an opiate antagonist emergency response. The boards are allowed to adopt a model plan for the use, storage, and administration of these medications. Additionally, the bill amends existing law to explicitly include postsecondary institution staff among those who can be authorized to administer opiate antagonists, provided they receive proper training in recognizing overdose signs and using the medication. The provisions will become effective in the 2025-2026 academic year, aiming to improve campus safety and preparedness for potential opioid overdose emergencies.
