An Act To Allow The Emergency Medical Services' Board To Assess Civil Penalties For The Noncompliance Of Emergency Medical Services Persons With The Requirement To Administer Naloxone Hydrochloride In Compliance With Trainings And Procedures Developed By The Board

LD 1452 requires emergency medical services personnel (like EMTs and paramedics) in Maine to administer naloxone or approved opioid reversal medication per board-developed protocols. The bill adds that failure to follow these protocols or training is a civil violation, allowing the Emergency Medical Services' Board to issue fines of up to $1,000 per violation. It does not change the naloxone administration requirement itself but establishes a penalty mechanism for noncompliance. The law directly affects licensed emergency medical services personnel who must adhere to these protocols. The bill focuses on enforcing existing naloxone administration standards through civil penalties.
