Bill information
Summary
To amend the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to provide for a pilot program under the Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Grant Program for local law enforcement agencies located in rural areas to purchase naloxone to prevent and reduce opioid overdose deaths, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill would amend a 1968 law about crime control to create a new pilot program. The program would give money to rural police departments to buy naloxone, a medication that reverses opioid overdoses. Naloxone is an emergency drug that can save lives when someone overdoses on opioids like heroin or fentanyl. The funding would come from existing grants for fighting opioid abuse. The bill was introduced in Congress and is currently awaiting review.
