Requires county health departments to maintain reserve stock of opioid antidotes to dispense to certain entities on interim basis to ensure uninterrupted supply.
This bill requires New Jersey county health departments to maintain reserve stocks of opioid antidotes (like naloxone) to provide to specific entities during supply disruptions. It directly affects county health departments (who must maintain reserves) and entities like fire departments, schools, public libraries, and emergency medical services (who can receive the antidotes when needed). The key mechanism ensures uninterrupted access by mandating that county departments supply these reserves to "recognized places of public access" (e.g., schools, libraries) or emergency responders on an interim basis during shortages. The bill focuses on maintaining continuity of life-saving medication access without altering existing prescription or distribution rules.
