AI Summary
This bill requires the commissioner of corrections to maintain a supply of opiate antagonists (medications like naloxone that can rapidly reverse the effects of an opioid overdose) in each correctional facility. Specifically, the commissioner must store an adequate number of nasal opiate antagonist doses throughout each facility to enable staff to quickly respond to potential opioid overdoses. Additionally, the commissioner is mandated to collaborate with the commissioner of health to provide training to department employees on identifying the symptoms of an opioid overdose and how to properly administer nasal opiate antagonists. This legislation aims to improve emergency response capabilities and potentially save lives in correctional facilities by ensuring that staff are prepared to address opioid overdose situations promptly and effectively.
