A07812 Memo:

NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY
MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION
submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
 
BILL NUMBER: A7812A
 
SPONSOR: Rosenthal L
  TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the public health law, in relation to authorizing the use of opioid antagonists by persons or entities for opioid overdose prevention   PURPOSE: Relates to expanding the entities authorized to possess, distribute, and administer an opioid antagonist to reverse an opioid-related overdose to public accommodations such as; restaurants, bars, and retail establish- ments to the list of entities protected from legal liability.   SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section one amends subdivision 3 of section 3309 of the public health law by adding a new subparagraph (v). Section two amends subdivision 4 of section 3309 of the public health law. Section three establishes the effective date.   JUSTIFICATION: Opioid-related overdose deaths frequently occur in spaces that are open to the public. Yet unfortunately, many of these public accommodation industries including; restaurants, retail stores, event centers and hotels err on the side of caution and restrict the administration of naloxone on their premises due to the concern that they may not be covered by the current Good Samaritan law. To alleviate this fear, this legislation will clarify the application of the law to ensure as many entities as possible are covered under the Good Samaritan law.   LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: New bill.   FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None.   EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
