Illinois HB1910 mandates public libraries to stock opioid antagonists and train staff to administer them during overdoses.
HB1910 requires all public libraries in Illinois to maintain a supply of opioid antagonists, such as naloxone, in accessible locations. It mandates that at least one library staff member be trained to recognize and respond to opioid overdoses, including administering the antagonist.
