Requires all employees of a family day care center, group family day care center, school-aged child care program, and child day care center be trained in administering an opioid antagonist; requires a child day care to stock at least one opioid antagonist.

This bill requires that all employees working at family day care centers, group family day care centers, school-aged child care programs, and child day care centers receive training on how to administer an opioid antagonist, a medication that can reverse opioid overdoses. Additionally, it mandates that these child care facilities keep at least one opioid antagonist on hand to respond to emergencies involving opioid overdoses.

Supporters of this bill would argue that it is a crucial step in protecting children and ensuring the safety of care environments. By training staff and stocking opioid antagonists, child care centers can be prepared to respond effectively to potential overdoses, ultimately saving lives and promoting a healthier community.

Critics might argue that the bill places an additional burden on child care providers and could divert resources away from other important areas of child care. They may also express concerns about the appropriateness of having child care staff trained in administering medical treatments, suggesting that such responsibilities should be left to medical professionals.
