HR 3065 United States House · 118th Congress

School Access to Naloxone Act of 2023

This bill creates federal grants for school districts to provide emergency opioid overdose treatment (like naloxone) in public and private elementary and secondary schools. It requires schools to have trained staff (such as nurses or designated personnel), maintain accessible supplies of the medication, and confirm their state has liability protections for staff using it during an emergency. The law directly affects K-12 schools by mandating specific emergency protocols for opioid overdoses. It does not change state laws but requires schools to verify existing state protections before receiving funds.
