Health: pharmaceuticals; choice of formulation, dosage, and route of administration for opioid antagonists by certain persons and governmental entities if department of health and human services distributes opioid antagonists free of charge; allow. Creates new act.

HB 4428 allows individuals and governmental entities receiving free opioid overdose reversal medications (opioid antagonists) from the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to choose the specific type, dose, or delivery method of the medication. This provision applies when the DHHS distributes these medications to help reduce opioid-related overdoses across the state. The choice is intended to help recipients better address local needs. However, recipients cannot choose a specific formulation or dosage if doing so would jeopardize federal funding for the DHHS.
