This bill mandates that public and independent institutions of higher education in New Jersey maintain a supply of opioid antidotes in secure and accessible locations to respond to opioid overdose emergencies. Institutions are required to develop a policy for the emergency administration of these antidotes, which must include designating a licensed campus medical professional to oversee the program, allowing trained employees to administer the antidote, and ensuring that overdose victims are transported to a hospital after administration. The bill also stipulates that licensed campus medical professionals will have primary responsibility for administering the antidote, with additional trained employees designated to assist when necessary.

Furthermore, the bill directs the Secretary of Higher Education, in collaboration with the Department of Human Services and medical experts, to establish guidelines for these policies, including training requirements for licensed professionals and designated employees. It provides immunity from liability for those acting in good faith under the bill's provisions, including licensed professionals, trained designees, and other employees involved in the administration of opioid antidotes. This legislation aims to enhance the preparedness of higher education institutions in addressing opioid overdoses on campus.
