Pennsylvania SB1054 mandates schools to maintain opioid antagonists and train staff to administer them for suspected opioid overdoses.

Pennsylvania SB1054 amends the Public School Code of 1949 to require the Department of Health to develop a policy for schools to maintain opioid antagonists in each facility. This policy includes guidelines for responding to suspected opioid overdoses and requires at least one trained staff member to be present during school hours. The bill also mandates that schools use funds from federal, state, or local grants for student health and safety or opioid prevention and abatement to cover the costs.
