The bill mandates that the commissioner of corrections in Minnesota maintain a supply of opiate antagonists at each correctional facility to address opioid overdoses. Specifically, it requires the commissioner to ensure that an adequate number of doses of nasal opiate antagonists are readily available throughout the facilities for quick response to overdose incidents. This provision aims to enhance the safety and health of individuals in correctional settings.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the commissioner, in collaboration with the commissioner of health, must provide training for correctional staff on how to recognize the symptoms of an opiate overdose and properly administer the nasal opiate antagonists. This training is intended to equip employees with the necessary skills to effectively respond to overdose situations, thereby improving the overall management of health emergencies related to opioid use within correctional facilities. The proposed coding for this new law will be included in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 241.
