Summary

Existing law requires the governing board of each community college district and the Trustees of the California State University, in collaboration with campus-based and community-based recovery advocacy organizations, to provide, as part of established campus orientations, educational and preventive information provided by the State Department of Public Health about opioid overdose and the use and location of fentanyl test strips and opioid overdose reversal medication to students at all campuses of their respective segments, and to notify students of the presence and location of fentanyl test strips, as specified. Existing law requires the governing board of each community college district and the Trustees of the California State University to require that each campus health center apply to use the statewide standing order issued by the State Public Health Officer to distribute dosages of a federally approved opioid overdose reversal medication, apply to participate in the Naloxone Distribution Project administered by the State Department of Health Care Services, distribute, upon approval for use of the statewide standing order and participation in the Naloxone Distribution Project, a federally approved opioid overdose reversal medication obtained through the Naloxone Distribution Project, as provided, and stock and distribute fentanyl test strips, as specified. The bill would require the governing board of each community college district and the Trustees of the California State University to notify, by sending an email at the beginning of each academic semester or term, students of the presence and location of opioid overdose reversal medication and that each residential advisor and house manager, or the equivalent position, has received opioid overdose prevention and treatment training. The bill would require that each campus train all students who live on campus on the use of opioid overdose reversal medication during student orientation for each academic semester or term. The bill would also require the governing board of each community college district and the Trustees of the California State University to require each campus health center located on a campus within their respective segments to distribute, at the beginning of each academic semester or term, 2 doses of a federally approved opioid overdose reversal medication obtained through the Naloxone Distribution Project to each university- or college-affiliated student housing facility and each university- or college-affiliated fraternity or sorority facility, to be maintained by the housing facility, fraternity, or sorority in an accessible location, as provided. The bill would prohibit disciplinary measures from being imposed for any violation of the institution's student conduct policy regarding drug possession, use, or treatment that occurs at or near the time of an incident where a residential advisor, resident, or house manager administers a dose of a federally approved opioid overdose reversal medication, as provided. The bill would also require each residential advisor and house manager to receive opioid overdose prevention and treatment training, as provided. By imposing new duties on community college districts, the bill would constitute a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
