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

This Senate Resolution (SR 32) urges New Jersey's State Boards of Medical Examiners, Dentistry, Nursing, and Pharmacy to require ongoing training for healthcare professionals on opioid pain medication. The resolution specifically calls for continuing education covering responsible prescribing practices, non-opioid pain management alternatives, and recognizing signs of opioid misuse or addiction. It applies to all prescribers (like doctors, dentists, pharmacists) and relevant non-prescribers (such as nurses) who interact with patients on opioids. The resolution is non-binding and recommends these requirements remain in effect for two license renewal cycles, unless extended by the boards.
