School Access to Naloxone Act of 2026
This bill creates a new grant program to help schools access naloxone for opioid overdose emergencies. It directly affects public and private elementary and secondary schools by requiring them to certify they have trained staff (like nurses or designated personnel), maintain accessible naloxone supplies, and have a plan for trained staff on-site during school hours. Schools must also confirm their state provides adequate legal protection for staff who administer naloxone. The grants, funded through the Public Health Service Act, support these requirements to enable immediate emergency treatment of opioid overdoses in school settings.
