Plain-language change summary

The latest version of SB 91 introduces a provision allowing the chief medical officer to issue a standing order for the prescription of opioid overdose drugs, which is a key step in addressing the opioid crisis. It also requires an annual report from the Department of Health and Social Services detailing their efforts and expenditures related to opioid management. Additionally, the bill is retroactively effective from March 15, 2017, ensuring that actions taken during this period are validated. These changes are significant as they enhance the state's response capabilities to the opioid epidemic and aim to improve transparency in managing related resources.
