A bill for an act relating to education; allowing high school students to possess and administer opiate antagonists; amending Minnesota Statutes 2025 Supplement, section 121A.224, subdivision 2.

AI Summary

This bill mandates that Minnesota school districts and charter schools must allow high school students in grades 9 through 12 to possess and administer an opiate antagonist, which is a medication that can reverse the effects of an opioid overdose, to another student. This change shifts the current allowance to a requirement, ensuring that schools are prepared to respond to opioid emergencies. The bill also clarifies that the protections outlined in section 604A.04 of Minnesota Statutes, which generally shield individuals from liability when providing emergency assistance, will apply to students who possess and administer these life-saving medications under the provisions of this new law.
