The legislative bill discussed mandates that public post-secondary educational institutions in Minnesota must keep a stock of opiate antagonists, like naloxone, on their campuses. These are drugs used to reverse opioid overdoses. Specifically, it requires each campus building to have at least two doses of nasal naloxone available.

The bill outlines that the Board of Trustees for the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities is required to adhere to these guidelines, while the University of Minnesota's Board of Regents is strongly encouraged to do the same. Additionally, the bill directs the health commissioner to provide resources, including training videos, to help colleges and universities prepare for opioid overdose emergencies efficiently. These institutions are also allowed to develop a plan detailing how the opiate antagonists should be stored and administered on their campuses.
