An Act relating to the prescription of opioid overdose drugs.

Summary

The bill adds a requirement that any licensed prescriber who writes an opioid prescription must also offer the patient a prescription for an opioid overdose drug. This applies when the opioid supply exceeds three days, the daily dose is 50 morphine‑milligram equivalents or more, the patient is also taking a benzodiazepine, or the patient has a history of overdose or substance‑use disorder. The goal is to increase access to life‑saving overdose reversal medication.
