AB 394 Nevada Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Authorizes the Board of Regents of the University of Nevada to require certain institutions to adopt emergency response plans related to opioid overdoses. (BDR 34-95)

AB 394 requires all public colleges and universities in Nevada to create emergency response plans for opioid overdoses. These plans must include education about opioid overdoses and procedures for easily accessing naloxone (a medication that reverses overdoses), while prohibiting any requirement for training before obtaining or using naloxone. The bill allows institutions to customize their plans (e.g., training methods, naloxone locations) but mandates core elements like rescue breathing emphasis and 4mg naloxone dosing. The Board of Regents may provide a model plan for guidance but cannot force institutions to adopt it.
