A08830 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
 submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)




 
BILL NUMBER: A8830
 
SPONSOR: Steck

 
TITLE OF BILL:
 
An act to amend the education law, in relation to requiring a certain
type of opioid overdose rescue kit be provided by the state to schools
 
 
PURPOSE::
 
The purpose of this legislation is to require the state to provide a
opioid and fentanyl overdose response kit to every school and college in
New York State.
 
 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS::
 
 
3.(A) THE COMMISSIONER SHALL PROVIDE TO EVERY ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY
SCHOOL, PUB LIC OR PRIVATE, AND EVERY TRADE OR VOCATIONAL SCHOOL,
COLLEGE, AND UNIVERSITY, PUBLIC OR PRIVATE, WITHIN THE STATE AT LEAST
ONE OPIOID AND FENTANYL OVERDOSE RESCUE KIT AT NO COST TO THE SCHOOL.
TRAINING SHALL BE MADE AVAILABLE, BUT SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED, TO ANY
TEACHER, FACULTY, OR STAFF MEMBER OF SUCH SCHOOLS OR SCHOOL DISTRICTS
WHO WISHES TO PARTICIPATE IN SUCH TRAINING IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUBDIVI-
SION TWO OF THIS SECTION.
 
 
JUSTIFICATION::
 
Opioid and fentanyl overdose response kits contain two doses of naloxone
nasal sprays, along with a CPR kit and programmed alerts to notify first
responders when they are opened or when the naloxone contained within
them is set to expire. As a comprehensive opioid and fentanyl overdose
response solution, the kits can be mounted to the wall in a centralized
location, similar to defibrillators, where they are highly visible and
can be instantly accessed in emergency situations.
 
This legislation protects students by providing an opioid and fentanyl
overdose rescue kit for each of New York's schools and colleges. In
addition to containing live-saving naloxone, kits instantly alert first
responders to assure the fastest possible emergency response in life-
threatening situations.
 
 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY::
 
New bill.
 
 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS::
 
To be determined
 
 
EFFECTIVE DATE::
 
Immediately.
