Tyler’s Law mandates a study on fentanyl testing in hospital emergency departments and subsequent guidance from the Secretary of Health and Human.

Tyler’s Law requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct a study on fentanyl testing in hospital emergency departments. The study will assess the frequency of such tests, associated costs, potential benefits and risks, and the impact on patient confidentiality and the patient-physician relationship. Within six months of the study's completion, the Secretary must issue guidance on whether these departments should implement fentanyl testing as a routine procedure for overdose patients.
