SF1138

Senate File No. 1138 is a proposed bill that aims to address the opioid crisis by allocating funds for educational programs in Minnesota. Specifically, the bill proposes to provide $500,000 each year for fiscal years 2026 and 2027 to finance a grant. This grant would support Change the Outcome, an initiative focused on delivering educational programs in middle and high schools and within communities. The education provided would cover the risks associated with opioid use, strategies for prevention, how to recognize signs of an overdose, awareness of current drug trends like fentanyl and other substances, and resources for those dealing with substance use issues.
