Educational Institutions - Opioid Overdose-Reversing Medications - Policy Requirements (Protecting Our Kids From Overdoses Act)

HB 852 requires Maryland public schools and colleges to update drug education programs to include specific information about naloxone and other opioid overdose-reversing medications, their effectiveness, and authorized possession. It mandates schools to stock naloxone, allow trained staff and students to possess it, and provide annual parent notifications about this policy. The bill also grants immunity from liability to school personnel or others acting in good faith to administer naloxone during an overdose emergency on school property. These requirements apply directly to all public schools, county boards of education, and institutions of higher education in Maryland.
