Summary of S 7293: Opioid Antagonist Training for Day Care Employees

Purpose and Intent

This bill aims to improve the preparedness and response of day care centers in addressing opioid overdose emergencies. It would require all employees at licensed day care centers to receive training in the administration of opioid antagonists, such as naloxone, in order to be able to provide life-saving intervention in the event of an opioid overdose.

Key Provisions

  • Mandates that all day care center employees, including directors, teachers, and other staff, complete a training program on the use of opioid antagonists within 90 days of employment.
  • Requires day care centers to maintain a supply of opioid antagonist medication on-site and accessible to trained staff.
  • Directs the state's Office of Children and Family Services to develop standardized training curriculum and protocols for day care centers to follow.
  • Provides legal protections for day care employees who administer opioid antagonists in good faith during an emergency.
  • Establishes penalties for day care centers that fail to comply with the training and medication requirements.

Affected Entities

  • Licensed day care centers and their employees across the state would be required to comply with the new training and medication provisions.
  • The Office of Children and Family Services would be responsible for developing the training program and overseeing implementation.
  • Families and children enrolled in day care centers would benefit from the increased preparedness to respond to opioid overdoses.

Timeline and Procedures

  • The bill was introduced in the state Senate on April 9, 2025 and has been referred to the Committee on Children and Families.
  • If passed, the law would take effect 90 days after being signed into law, giving day care centers time to implement the new training and medication requirements.
  • The bill is a companion to Assembly Bill A 51, which is also currently under consideration in the state legislature.
