Urges NJ DOH to increase public awareness on effects of xylazine.
This Senate Resolution (SR 12) urges the New Jersey Department of Health (NJ DOH) to increase public awareness about the dangers of xylazine, a veterinary tranquilizer misused recreationally as a street drug. It directly affects New Jersey residents by calling for the NJ DOH to provide educational resources on xylazine's risks - including its link to overdose deaths, inability to be treated with naloxone, and frequent combination with fentanyl and other drugs - without creating new legal requirements.
