Opioid Terminology Amendments

Summary

The bill revises a wide range of Utah code sections, changing the defined term “opiate” to “opioid‑like substance” and updating related phrases like “opiate antagonist” and “opiate‑related drug overdose event” to their opioid equivalents. It also swaps the word “opiate” for “substance” in certain controlled‑substance descriptions and adds coordination clauses with other drug‑policy bills. The changes are purely linguistic, aiming to keep the law consistent with modern medical usage.
