Protecting First Responders from Secondary Exposure Act of 2023

HR 795 amends the 1968 Crime Control Act to require federal funding for training first responders on using containment devices that prevent secondary exposure to fentanyl and other dangerous substances. It directs the Department of Justice to provide both training resources and purchase these devices for emergency personnel. The law specifically targets risks faced when handling drugs like fentanyl during arrests or medical emergencies. First responders, including police and EMTs, would directly benefit from this provision. The bill mandates these measures through existing federal programs without creating new standalone requirements.
