Requires institutions of higher education to maintain supply of naloxone hydrochloride nasal spray for opioid overdose emergencies and permits emergency administration of naloxone hydrochloride nasal spray by licensed campus medical professionals and resident assistants.
This bill requires New Jersey colleges and universities to maintain naloxone nasal spray in residence halls for opioid overdose emergencies and permits licensed campus medical staff and trained resident assistants to administer it in emergencies. Institutions must store naloxone securely but accessibly, develop policies for its use (including mandatory hospital transport after administration), and ensure staff receive required training on overdose response. The law provides liability protection for good-faith actions by medical professionals, resident assistants, and pharmacists following its provisions. It directly affects campus health protocols, student safety, and institutional emergency response procedures.
