Urges relevant State licensing boards to implement continuing education requirements on topics related to opioid pain medication.

Senate Resolution 84 urges New Jersey's licensing boards for medical, dental, nursing, and pharmacy professionals to require continuing education on opioid pain medication. The resolution specifically asks these boards to mandate training for doctors, dentists, pharmacists, nurses, and other providers who prescribe or interact with patients on opioids. This training would cover responsible prescribing practices, non-opioid pain management alternatives, and recognizing signs of opioid misuse or addiction. If implemented, these requirements would apply to license renewals for the next four years (two biennial periods). As a resolution, it is a non-binding recommendation to the boards, not a new law.
