What this bill would do
The School Access to Naloxone Act of 2026 amends the Public Health Service Act to provide funding for the emergency treatment of opioid overdoses in schools. It allows the Secretary to award grants to eligible entities for the administration of drugs and devices at public and private elementary and secondary schools. To receive a grant, schools must have trained personnel, maintain an accessible supply of treatment devices, and have a plan for trained staff to be present during all operating hours. The bill also requires the State attorney general to certify that there is adequate civil liability protection for the personnel administering the treatment.
