HB1910

Illinois HB1910 mandates public libraries to stock opioid antagonists and train staff to administer them during opioid overdoses.

HB1910 requires all public libraries in Illinois to maintain a supply of opioid antagonists, such as naloxone, in easily accessible locations. It allows authorized library staff who have completed specific training to administer these antagonists to individuals experiencing opioid overdoses on library grounds, in the library's vicinity, or at library-sponsored events. The bill mandates that libraries ensure at least one trained staff member is present during all operating hours.
