SF1687

This bill (S.F. No. 1687) amends Minnesota Statutes section 121A.224 to allow high school students (grades 9-12) to possess and administer opiate antagonists, such as naloxone, to another high school student in case of an opioid overdose. The legislation requires school districts and charter schools to permit this only if they receive written authorization from the student's parent or guardian. Additionally, the bill mandates that each school building must have at least two doses of a nasal opiate antagonist available on-site, and the Minnesota Department of Health must provide training resources for schools on emergency response procedures. The liability protections under section 604A.04 regarding the administration of opiate antagonists would apply.
