Democratic Assembly Member Matt Haney introduced Assembly Bill (AB) No. 1976, which, if enacted, would require the California Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board to “adopt revised standards” under Section 3400 of Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations “to require [that] all first aid kits in a workplace … include nasal spray naloxone hydrochloride.” The bill would give the Standards Board until December 1, 2026, to adopt the revisions.
Republican Assembly Member Juan Alanis also introduced AB 1996, legislation that would require “[e]ach stadium, concert venue, and amusement park” to ensure that “naloxone hydrochloride or any other opioid antagonist” is accessible on its premises and that at least two employees know where to find the medication.
