An Act relative to furthering the success of opiate intervention programs

This bill amends Massachusetts law to allow law enforcement and emergency medical personnel to provide opioid antagonists to individuals at risk of overdose. Under the new provision, these trained responders can administer these life-saving medications based on their professional judgment and information provided by the person or their family. The measure aims to expand immediate access to overdose reversal drugs during critical moments by authorizing a broader range of first responders to carry and distribute these treatments.
