A 1797 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Authorizes State and local law enforcement entities to contract for bulk purchasing of heroin antidote.

This bill authorizes New Jersey's Attorney General to negotiate bulk purchase contracts for opioid antidotes (like Naloxone/Narcan) on behalf of state, county, and local law enforcement, emergency medical services, first aid squads, and other public entities. It directly affects these public safety and emergency response organizations by enabling them to secure discounted prices through centralized negotiations. The key mechanism is the Attorney General acting as a single point of contact to contract directly with drug manufacturers for better pricing. The bill takes effect immediately upon enactment.
