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

California AB2150 requires employers who mandate CPR certification training for employees to also provide training on the use of naloxone, an opioid overdose reversal drug. This training must be an online video module approved by the Emergency Medical Services Authority. The training must include recognizing opioid overdose signs, appropriate response actions, and proper administration of naloxone. Employers must pay for the training costs. The training is separate from existing CPR training and does not create a duty for employees to administer naloxone.
