Federal law is unclear on whether grant money can pay for giving naloxone — this bill would fix that

A proposed bill aims to clarify federal law about using grant money to fund naloxone, an opioid overdose reversal drug, in schools. This move seeks to ensure that all schools have naloxone on site and trained staff ready to administer it during all operating hours. The legislation underscores the growing urgency to combat opioid addiction, especially among young people, by providing life-saving measures directly in educational settings. This bill could significantly impact public health by reducing overdose deaths in one of the most accessible environments for students.
