Saving Lives on Campuses Act of 2026

This bill would require the Secretary of Education, working with the Secretary of Health and Human Services, to require public colleges and universities that receive federal higher education funds to provide opioid overdose rescue kits within one year of enactment. Kits would have to be available in classroom buildings, libraries, labs, dormitories, dining facilities, and other instructional, research, or housing facilities, placed near public defibrillators where feasible, and carried by campus emergency medical staff. Schools would have to register kit locations, publish a list of locations, replace used or expired kits, and train students on the kits during orientation. Kits must contain naloxone (such as Narcan) or another FDA-approved drug that reverses opioid effects.
