SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law Oct. 4 a bill, supported by San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan, that will require licensed alcohol and drug residential treatment facilities to maintain, on premises, at least two doses of naloxone or a similar drug approved for the treatment of an opioid overdose.
Assembly Bill 381, authored by Assemblywoman Laurie Davies (R-Laguna Niguel) and supported by Stephan’s office, also requires a staff member to be on the premises who has been trained on how to administer naloxone.
