Bill overview
This bill modifies existing laws to allow certain physicians, specifically qualified public health physicians designated by the Department of Health and Human Services, to issue standing orders for opioid antagonists. These standing orders can be used by pharmacists and community-based organizations to distribute these antagonists in response to public health emergencies or specific needs, such as opioid overdose prevention. The bill outlines specific requirements for these standing orders, including justification, expiration dates, and public notice requirements, while also providing immunity from liability for those involved in their implementation.
