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 both the medical professional and trained employees to administer the antidote in good faith, and ensuring that overdose victims are transported to a hospital emergency room after administration. The bill also stipulates that additional employees can be designated to administer the antidote when a licensed medical professional is not present, provided they receive the necessary training.

Furthermore, the Secretary of Higher Education, in collaboration with the Department of Human Services and medical experts, is tasked with establishing guidelines for these policies, including training requirements for the licensed professionals and designated employees. The bill also offers immunity from liability for those involved in the administration of opioid antidotes, protecting them from legal repercussions as long as their actions are in good faith and consistent with the bill's provisions.
