Passed in the Senate 36 to 0 (details)
To permit state and local government agencies to purchase and stock opioid antagonist drugs for treating overdoses, and allow an employee with specified training to administer them to an individual experiencing an overdose. Agencies and staff would be exempt from criminal and civil liability for good faith administration of an opioid antagonist that was not gross negligence. This would supersede a 2014 law that applied only to law enforcement agencies.
