What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, certain school personnel, including school bus operators, employees, and volunteers of public, private, and tribal schools, are allowed to administer an opioid antagonist on a person who appears to be undergoing an opioid-related drug overdose. Current law also provides immunity to elementary and secondary schools, designated school personnel, physicians, advanced practice nurse prescribers, and physician assistants who provide or administer an opioid antagonist for any injury resulting from the opioid antagonist.

This bill requires school boards, governing boards of independent charter schools, and governing bodies of private schools to ensure that each school maintain a usable supply of an opioid antagonist on site, in a place that is accessible at all times. The bill also requires the Office of School Safety in the Department of Justice to provide grants to school boards, governing boards of independent charter schools, and governing bodies of private schools for the costs of complying with this requirement. The bill provides $100,000 for these grants in the 2026-27 fiscal year.
