Michigan SB0404 mandates schools to implement policies for administering opioid antagonists in cases of suspected opioid-related overdoses.

Michigan SB0404 amends existing law to require schools to implement policies for administering opioid antagonists, such as naloxone, in cases of suspected opioid-related overdoses. The bill ensures that school employees who administer these antagonists in good faith are not liable for civil or criminal damages unless their actions amount to willful or wanton misconduct. It also mandates that school personnel call 9-1-1 if a pupil is believed to be experiencing an opioid-related overdose.
