The bill amends the Public Health Code of Michigan by adding a new section, 20911, which mandates that if the 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, thereby enhancing the response to opioid overdoses in the state.

The new legal language emphasizes the importance of equipping life support agencies with necessary resources to combat the opioid crisis effectively. By facilitating access to opioid antagonists for these agencies, the bill seeks to improve emergency response capabilities and ultimately save lives in situations involving opioid overdoses.
