Supporting the designation of June 6, 2023, as National Naloxone Awareness Day.
HRES 476 designates June 6, 2023, as National Naloxone Awareness Day to highlight naloxone's role in reversing opioid overdoses. The resolution recognizes that naloxone saves lives by reversing opioid effects during emergencies and encourages public education about its use and access barriers. It urges federal, state, local governments, and organizations to collaborate on increasing naloxone distribution and reducing stigma around substance use disorder. This non-binding resolution does not create new laws but supports existing efforts to combat the opioid crisis through awareness and education.
