This bill makes sure federal health grants about opioids don’t only mention naloxone. It tells the Department of Health and Human Services to treat all FDA-approved or authorized overdose reversal drugs the same in rules and guidance for these grants, not just naloxone. This means programs can use whichever safe, approved medicine works best to quickly reverse an opioid overdose .
It also requires HHS to go back and update older rules and guidance within one year so they include all approved overdose reversal drugs. This applies to major grant programs that support states, Tribes, and prevention efforts focused on substance use disorders .
