The bill H. 3860 aims to enhance opioid overdose prevention measures in South Carolina by amending Section 44-130-60 of the South Carolina Code of Laws. The key provision of the bill mandates that every first responder station and dispatch office in the state must maintain an adequate supply of unexpired opioid antidote medication. This requirement is intended to ensure that first responders are always equipped to administer opioid antidotes in emergency situations.

The bill emphasizes the importance of having readily available opioid antidotes to combat the ongoing opioid crisis and improve response times during overdose incidents. It is set to take effect upon approval by the Governor, reflecting a proactive approach to public health and safety in South Carolina.
