Assembly bill would require opioid blockers at gas stations, other likely overdose sites

In light of the ever-worsening opioid crisis, a state assemblyman from San Francisco has introduced a new bill that would require opioid blockers to be present in gas stations, bars, libraries, and single-room occupancy hotels.

Assembly Bill 24 from Assemblymember Matt Haney, D-San Francisco, would require that the opioid blocker, commonly known as naloxone or the brand name Narcan, be accompanied by posters that explain how to administer the nasal spray.
