The bill amends the Public Health Code by adding a new section, 20911, which mandates that if the Michigan Department of Health distributes an opioid antagonist at no cost to individuals to help reduce opioid-related overdoses, it must also provide the same opioid antagonist at no cost to life support agencies upon request. This provision aims to ensure that life support vehicles are equipped with opioid antagonists, enhancing their ability to respond to overdose situations effectively.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the opioid antagonists provided to life support agencies are intended for use in vehicles described in section 20919(1)(k) of the Public Health Code. This legislative change reflects a proactive approach to addressing the opioid crisis by ensuring that emergency responders have the necessary tools to combat overdoses in the community.
