Requires institutions of higher education to maintain supply and develop policy governing use of naloxone hydrochloride nasal spray for opioid overdose emergencies.
This bill requires New Jersey public and independent colleges and universities to maintain a supply of naloxone nasal spray (used to reverse opioid overdoses) in secure, accessible campus locations. Institutions must develop a policy allowing trained staff - including resident assistants, security officers, and campus medical professionals - to administer naloxone in emergencies, and mandate transportation to a hospital after use. The policy must be created with guidance from the state’s Higher Education Secretary and Human Services Commissioner, and all staff administering naloxone must complete required training. The bill directly affects campus communities, particularly students and staff who may witness or respond to opioid overdoses.
