Bill Summary

A bill to amend 1978 PA 368, entitled"Public health code,"(MCL 333.1101 to 333.25211) by adding section 20911.

AI Summary

This bill amends Michigan's Public Health Code to require the state department of health to provide opioid antagonists (medications like naloxone that can quickly reverse opioid overdoses) directly to life support agencies at no cost, when the department is already distributing such medications to individuals. Specifically, if the department is giving out opioid antagonists to help reduce opioid-related overdoses, they must also supply these medications to life support agencies upon request, so that the agencies can equip their vehicles with the overdose-reversing drugs. This provision aims to enhance emergency medical services' ability to rapidly respond to potential opioid overdose situations by ensuring life support vehicles are stocked with these critical medications, potentially saving lives in time-sensitive medical emergencies.
