California AB2150 mandates employers requiring CPR certification to also provide opioid overdose prevention training.

California AB2150 adds a new section to the Health and Safety Code, requiring employers who mandate CPR certification to also provide training on opioid overdose prevention and response. This training must include the use of naloxone, an opioid antagonist, and be approved by the Emergency Medical Services Authority. The training is separate from existing CPR training and aims to increase the rate of opioid overdose reversals. The Emergency Medical Services Authority will review and approve the training content to ensure it meets minimum standards.
