HB 348 Sponsor: Rep. Deb
Conroy
This bill would mandate
that prescribers offer a prescription for naloxone under certain circumstances,
and require that physicians have specific conversations with not only patients
but one or more individuals designated by the patients about addiction. This
bill is duplicative of current law that allows pharmacists, under a standing
order, to offer naloxone to any patient being dispensed an opioid.
