The bill amends the "Administration of Opioid Antagonists Act" by updating the definitions and clarifying the roles of various entities involved in the administration of opioid antagonists. Notably, it introduces new legal language that specifies the definition of "governmental agency" and excludes certain licensed individuals and school boards from this definition. Additionally, the bill expands the definition of "employee or agent" to include individuals employed by, contracted with, or volunteering for a governmental agency.
Furthermore, the bill modifies the definitions of terms such as "municipal corporation," "opioid antagonist," and "opioid-related overdose," ensuring they align with current legal and medical standards. The amendments aim to enhance the clarity and effectiveness of the law in addressing opioid-related issues. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of Senate Bill No. 404 of the 103rd Legislature.
