Amendment 7

Narcan Vending Machines

Mr. Moore moves that the proposed new text be amended in section 2, in line 42, after the word “antagonists” the following two paragraphs:-

“Areas with low incidents of opiate overdose, as determined by the board in consultation with the department, shall provide opioid antagonists, as defined in section 19B, for purchase through an accessible opioid antagonist dispenser in a public location; provided, however, that the continuous supply of opioid antagonists shall include opioid antagonists that are approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration to be sold over the counter without a prescription.

Any public location that installs an accessible opioid antagonist dispenser shall notify the department if the supply or stock of opioid antagonist doses is insufficient to enable compliance with maintaining a continuous supply of opioid.”

and, by inserting in section 3 the following definition:-

‘“Accessible opioid antagonist dispenser”, a vending machine or a self-service device that is available for public use and dispenses items when a coin, token, paper currency, or other means of payment is inserted.”
