Nitazene Response Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to issue updated clinical guidelines for responding to nitazene overdoses. Nitazenes are a group of synthetic opioids, and the bill defines the term to include specific listed substances and other chemically similar drugs. The guidelines would cover best practices including naloxone protocols, guidance for emergency departments and hospitals, and guidance for rural and volunteer emergency medical services. The guidelines would be posted on the department's website within 180 days, and a report to Congress would be due within one year.
