BILL NUMBER: S5960 SPONSOR: REICHLIN-MELNICK TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the executive law, in relation to establishing August thirty-first of each year as a day of commemoration known as "Overdose Awareness Day" PURPOSE: The purpose of this bill is to designate August 31st as "Overdose Aware- ness Day." SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 - Amends the executive law to add August 31st as "Overdose Awareness Day." Section 2 - Establishes an effective date.
JUSTIFICATION: Overdose death is preventable. The New York State Department of Health, in its Opioid Annual Report for 2019 indicated "deaths involving any opioid, WENT from 0.9 per 100,000 population in 2010 to 11.3 in 2017, a 1,194 percent increase." With deaths involving any opioid nearly tripling over the past decade the stigma around overdose related deaths has only forced individuals to suffer in silence. Designating August 31st as "Overdose Awareness Day" would help combat the stigma that surrounds drug-related deaths and acknowledge the grief felt by those who have lost someone as the result of an overdose. This day will honor those who have suffered at the hands of an overdose related death by bringing awareness to this issue. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: No prior legislative history. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None. EFFECTIVE DATE: Immediately.
