School Access to Naloxone Act of 2026

This bill would create a federal grant program to pay for trained staff at public and private elementary and secondary schools to give drugs or devices, such as naloxone, to treat a known or suspected opioid overdose. To get a grant, each school in the applicant's area must have a program letting trained staff give these drugs, keep a supply in an easy-to-reach place, and plan to have trained staff on site during all operating hours. The state attorney general must also certify that state law gives adequate legal protection from civil lawsuits to trained school staff who give this aid. The bill also expands an existing opioid overdose grant program to cover administering these drugs, not just prescribing them.
