This bill mandates the commissioner of corrections to maintain a supply of opiate antagonists in correctional facilities to address opioid overdoses. Specifically, it requires that an adequate number of doses of nasal opiate antagonists be stored throughout each facility to ensure that staff can quickly respond to overdose situations. The bill also stipulates that the commissioner must provide training for employees on how to recognize the symptoms of an opiate overdose and administer the antagonists effectively. The proposed legal language for this initiative is to be coded in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 241, under the new section [241.76] OPIATE ANTAGONISTS. This section outlines the responsibilities of the commissioner regarding the maintenance of opiate antagonists and the necessary training for staff, emphasizing the importance of preparedness in managing opioid-related emergencies within correctional settings.
