This bill mandates that hospitals notify a patient's family about the patient's release following a drug overdose. Specifically, it requires that within 72 hours of a patient's release from the hospital after treatment for a drug overdose, the hospital must attempt to contact a family member to inform them of the overdose and the patient's release. This notification is contingent upon the hospital having the necessary contact information for a family member and ensuring that the communication complies with applicable federal and state privacy laws.

The legislation aims to enhance family awareness and support for individuals recovering from drug overdoses, potentially facilitating further assistance and intervention. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon enactment.
