This bill mandates that all school districts and charter schools in Minnesota maintain a supply of opiate antagonists, specifically requiring each school building to have two doses of nasal naloxone on-site. It also stipulates that the commissioner of health must create and distribute a training video on the administration of nasal naloxone, ensuring that at least one trained staff member is present whenever the school is open to students, staff, or the public. The effective date for these provisions is set for July 1, 2023.

Additionally, the bill amends existing law regarding the administration of opiate antagonists by expanding the list of individuals authorized to administer these drugs in schools. It replaces the term "certified public health nurse" with "any other personnel" under the supervision of a school board, charter school, or private school. The bill also includes an appropriation from the general fund to the Department of Education to reimburse school districts and charter schools for the costs associated with purchasing the required opiate antagonists.
