SF 1814 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Nonopioid directives usage authorization provision and certain acts of failure to act immunity establishment provision

SF 1814 allows patients (or their health care agents) to create written "nonopioid directives" stating they must not be administered opioids or offered opioid prescriptions by health professionals. Health providers must include these directives in medical records and comply with them, except in emergency settings where opioids are medically necessary. The bill also establishes legal immunity for health professionals, facilities, and emergency medical services providers who reasonably follow these directives or inadvertently administer opioids while acting in good faith. This directly affects patients seeking opioid avoidance and healthcare providers treating them.
