Easier to get naloxone from providers
Beginning May 6, 2026, prescribers may give or prescribe naloxone, including products up to 24 months past expiration, without a prescriber–patient relationship to people at risk, their family or friends, or outreach providers. Pharmacists and pharmacy interns may dispense naloxone under a standing order from a physician or medical director, without a separate prescription. The standing order must limit who can receive naloxone, list authorized dispensers by license number, require yearly review, keep records with recipient names and the drug given, and be approved by the Division of Professional Licensing by rule. Prescribing or dispensing naloxone in good faith for these purposes is not unprofessional or unlawful conduct, and prescribers are shielded from civil damages when they act in good faith.
Community groups can give naloxone with instructions
Beginning May 6, 2026, overdose outreach providers may obtain, store, and give naloxone, including products up to 24 months past expiration, to people at risk and their supporters. If they act in good faith, they are not liable. When naloxone is dispensed, the dispenser must give written instructions on spotting an overdose, how to respond and give the drug, when to seek medical care, and the safety and risks of using expired products. Outreach providers must pass along these instructions and may give extra training.
Expired naloxone allowed up to 24 months
Beginning May 6, 2026, the law defines an "expired" naloxone product as more than 24 months past the month and year on its label. Products up to 24 months past that date remain eligible to be prescribed, dispensed, furnished, and used under the law’s other rules.
Naloxone immunity expands, provider duty clarified
Beginning May 6, 2026, people and overdose outreach workers who, in good faith, give naloxone to someone they reasonably think is overdosing are immune from civil and criminal liability. This also covers naloxone up to 24 months past its labeled expiration. Licensed health care providers are not immune when acting within their professional duty or duty of care. A provider with no legal duty to respond who acts in good faith is immune.
