Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 1 costs, 2 mixed.
Broader naloxone access and protections
Licensed providers can prescribe and give naloxone directly to people at risk and their helpers. Providers can issue standing orders so friends, family, and bystanders can carry and give it during an overdose. Lay rescuers do not need special training to give naloxone. People who give it in good faith are protected from most lawsuits; gross negligence or willful misconduct is not protected.
Stronger care in licensed treatment programs
Licensed programs may offer limited on‑site medical support under a doctor or licensed practitioner, but not full primary care. Programs cannot deny admission only because you use approved medication‑assisted treatment or arrived intoxicated. Each program must plan for relapse to keep people connected to care. Facilities must keep at least two unexpired naloxone doses on site and have at least one trained staff member, with proof kept on file. Staff who give naloxone in good faith are protected from most lawsuits. The department can start these rules by bulletin now and must adopt regulations by July 1, 2027.
Statewide EMS training to use naloxone
The state sets training and standards for emergency medical workers to use and give naloxone. Local EMS medical directors can run approved trial studies, and training from those trials can count toward the requirement.
Up to $150 fee for drug convictions
People convicted under this chapter must pay up to $150 per offense, unless a court finds they cannot pay. Counties deposit the collected fees into a drug program fund. At least 33% of the fund goes to school and community prevention and cannot replace local funds. This fee does not apply to convictions under Section 11357(b).
Treatment facility licensing: simpler process, inspections
The department issues two‑year licenses and must do at least one on‑site compliance visit each term, announced or unannounced. By January 1, 2027, a single application lets providers apply for both the facility license and permission to offer incidental medical services, with no extra fee beyond existing charges.
Updated definitions for drugs and programs
The law defines key terms like “drug,” “drug‑ or alcohol‑related program,” and which state and local agencies are covered. It also repeals an outdated code section to align the new framework.
