How This Impacts Americans

Potential effects on citizens and communities

If passed, this bill would help protect students from opioid overdoses by making naloxone and related training more accessible in schools. It would also increase education about the dangers of fentanyl, a highly potent opioid that has led to rising overdose rates among young people. This could save lives and better prepare schools to respond to the opioid crisis.
