S 4966 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Expands entities that may acquire opioid antidotes; creates program within DOH and formalizes reporting requirements.

S 4966 expands who can obtain opioid antidotes (like naloxone) to include public libraries, schools, community hubs (such as restaurants or retail stores), and law enforcement agencies. It creates a new program within New Jersey's Department of Health to coordinate the distribution and use of these antidotes. The bill also establishes formal reporting requirements for how and where these antidotes are distributed and used by the newly eligible entities. This change directly affects community organizations, schools, and public safety agencies by making life-saving antidotes more accessible.
