This bill mandates the commissioner of corrections to ensure that each correctional facility maintains a supply of opiate antagonists, specifically nasal forms, to be used in cases of opioid overdoses. The legislation requires that an adequate number of doses be stored throughout the facilities to enable staff to respond quickly to such emergencies.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the commissioner, in collaboration with the commissioner of health, must provide training for correctional facility employees. This training will focus on recognizing the symptoms of an opiate overdose and the proper administration of nasal opiate antagonists. The proposed changes will be codified in Minnesota Statutes, chapter 241, under the new section [241.76].
