Establishes Statewide Opioid Antidote Coordinator position; appropriates funds.

This bill establishes a Statewide Opioid Antidote Coordinator position within New Jersey's Department of Human Services. The coordinator will centrally manage the bulk purchasing and distribution of opioid antidotes (like naloxone) for state agencies, emergency medical services, law enforcement, schools, public access venues, and sterile syringe programs. It also requires the coordinator to maintain a public website with overdose response information and submit annual reports detailing distribution quantities, cost savings, and outreach efforts. The office will be funded through state appropriations and available federal funds.
