Bill > S06443

This bill requires public residential buildings that receive funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) or the Division of Housing and Community Renewal to maintain at least one dose of naloxone (a medication used to rapidly reverse opioid overdose) in a common, easily accessible area of the building. The naloxone must be stored in a secure but unlocked container where all residents can reach it, such as a lobby, hallway, or shared living space. The Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS) will be responsible for maintaining the naloxone supply, with building managers coordinating to ensure a dose is always available. The funding for this program will come from OASAS and the opioid settlement fund established under state finance law. The goal of the bill is to increase accessibility to overdose reversal medication in public housing, potentially saving lives in the event of an opioid emergency.
