This bill expands federal Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grants to allow states and school districts to purchase naloxone (an opioid overdose reversal drug) and other opioid antagonists for schools. The legislation also permits these federal funds to be used for training school nurses, teachers, administrators, and resource officers on how to administer naloxone, as well as for providing fentanyl awareness education to students. The bill primarily affects K-12 schools and school staff who would gain access to life-saving overdose medications and training. No specific new federal funding amount is established in the text; instead, the bill redirects existing block grant programs to cover these new uses. The bill was introduced in March 2025 and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for consideration.
