HR 6789 United States House · 119th Congress

Federal Prisons Naloxone Access Act of 2025

HR 6789, the Federal Prisons Naloxone Access Act of 2025, requires federal prisons to maintain naloxone kits in all correctional facilities, including medical units, staff areas, and common spaces where incarcerated people gather. The bill mandates annual training for staff and incarcerated individuals on opioid overdose recognition and kit use, ensures proper storage and expiration checks, and requires detailed documentation of each kit administration. It also prohibits holding incarcerated people liable for good-faith naloxone use during an overdose and requires annual reports to Congress on kit availability, overdose incidents, training, and expired kits. The law authorizes $6 million for 2026 and $2 million annually through 2028 for implementation, including kit purchases and training.
