Bill No. 65, introduced by Senator Weaver and Representative Turner, aims to enhance substance abuse services by allowing any person to possess, acquire, distribute, and administer emergency opioid antagonists, such as naloxone, which are approved for treating opioid overdoses. The bill defines key terms, including "emergency opioid antagonist" and "person," and establishes that individuals can engage in these activities without fear of criminal prosecution or civil liability, provided they act in good faith. However, individuals may still be held liable for gross negligence or willful misconduct.

The legislation will be codified as Section 2-403 of Title 43A in the Oklahoma Statutes and is set to take effect on July 1, 2026. An emergency clause is included, indicating the immediate necessity for the bill's enactment to protect public health and safety.
