Summary
The HERO Act creates a competitive grant program that gives schools money to buy FDA‑approved opioid overdose reversal drugs and to develop related education and emergency‑response plans. Schools that receive federal funds must report any distribution of these drugs to national emergency‑medical and overdose‑tracking systems. The goal is to improve overdose response capacity in schools, especially in areas with high opioid overdose rates.
