SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

The underlying legislation directs the Department of Health (DOH, the

Health that entities such as schools, public libraries, restaurants,
bars, stores and shopping malls, barber shops, beauty parlors, theaters,
sportscenters, and inns/hotels currently participate in.  Then, setting
any additional guidelines, processes and procedures through the regu-
lations process.

Under Public Health Law § 3309 registered participating entities receive
authorization to possess and administer antagonists they request from
DOH (at no cost) onhand under a general order/prescription, access to
training & information on overdose recognition, response and prevention,
and inclusion on a public registry on the DOH website.

 
EXISTING LAW:

relating to establishing the nightlife opioid antagonist program.

program to community centers or facilities operated by a governmental or
