An Act relative to opioid overdose prevention in college housing

This bill requires all state university campuses in Massachusetts to train resident assistants in administering opioid antagonists (like naloxone) and to keep these medications onsite in college housing. It directly affects campus housing staff and students by mandating accessible emergency response tools for suspected opioid overdoses. Key provisions include mandatory training for resident assistants, on-site maintenance of opioid antagonists, and ensuring these resources are available during emergencies for any student or staff on campus housing premises. The law also directs the health and higher education departments to create implementing regulations.
