Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Adds a requirement to protect first responders from secondary fentanyl exposure by providing training, resources, and containment devices for use by emergency personnel. The amendment inserts a new provision into an existing public-safety grant/assistance statute so first responders receive guidance and equipment to reduce accidental fentanyl contact.
The change also adjusts the numbering of existing paragraphs to accommodate the new provision. It focuses on training, supplying containment devices, and enabling purchase of those devices for first responder use.
