HOSPITALS: Provides for hospital drug screenings. (8/1/24)

This bill requires hospitals to perform drug screenings on minors suspected of overdosing on opioids. It specifically mandates that these screenings be conducted when a minor is brought in for a suspected opioid overdose. The legislation also updates reporting requirements to ensure that information regarding these screenings is properly documented and shared. By focusing on minors, the law aims to improve early detection and response to opioid use among young people in healthcare settings.
