SB 1415 Opioids; impact reduction registry, report.
Introduced by: Todd E. Pillion | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)
Opioid impact reduction. Allows any person to possess and administer naloxone or other opioid antagonist used for overdose reversal other than naloxone in an injectable formulation with a hypodermic needle or syringe in accordance with protocols developed by the Board of Pharmacy in consultation with the Board of Medicine and the Department of Health, provided that certain other conditions enumerated in current law are met. The bill removes training requirements related to the possession and administration of naloxone. The bill directs the Department of Health, the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services, and the Department of Corrections to collaborate to develop a statewide comprehensive plan for the distribution of naloxone throughout the Commonwealth and allows such agencies to begin implementation of the plan to the extent the agencies are able to do so with existing resources. The bill requires the Department of Health to provide a report on the development of the comprehensive statewide naloxone plan, including the resources needed to fully implement the plan, to the Chairs of the House Committee on Appropriations and the Senate Committee on Finance and Appropriations by September 1, 2023. The bill directs the Department of Health to begin the development of a Commonwealth opioid impact reduction registry consisting of nonprofit organizations that work to reduce the impact of opioids in the Commonwealth and directs the Department of Corrections to amend its regulations to require that training in the administration of naloxone be provided to every inmate prior to release.
