Bill > SF2837

This bill requires the commissioner of corrections to maintain a supply of opiate antagonists (medications like naloxone that can quickly reverse opioid overdoses) in all correctional facilities. Specifically, the commissioner must store an adequate number of nasal opiate antagonist doses throughout each facility to enable staff to rapidly respond to potential opioid overdoses. Additionally, the bill mandates that the commissioner, in collaboration with the commissioner of health, provide training to correctional facility employees on recognizing the symptoms of an opioid overdose and how to properly administer nasal opiate antagonists. The goal of this legislation is to improve emergency response capabilities and potentially save lives in correctional settings where opioid overdoses may occur, by ensuring staff are equipped with both the necessary medical supplies and the knowledge to use them effectively.
