An act relating to appropriating funds to reimburse the Burlington Fire Department for assisting individuals experiencing a drug overdose

The money is distributed through the Department of Health as a grant to the City of Burlington, with the requirement that these funds supplement rather than replace existing city funding for the fire department. The legislation takes effect on July 1, 2024, and is intended to help cover the costs associated with responding to overdose incidents in Burlington.
