Description
Dispensing of naloxone. Allows a person who is authorized by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services to train individuals on the administration of naloxone for use in opioid overdose reversal and who is acting on behalf of an organization that provides substance abuse treatment services to individuals at risk of experiencing opioid overdose or training in the administration of naloxone for overdose reversal and that has obtained a controlled substances registration from the Board of Pharmacy pursuant to 54.1-3423 to dispense naloxone to a person who has completed a training program on the administration of naloxone for opioid overdose reversal, provided that such dispensing is (i) pursuant to a standing order issued by a prescriber, (ii) in accordance with protocols developed by the Board of Pharmacy in consultation with the Board of Medicine and the Department of Health, and (iii) without charge or compensation. The bill also provides that a person who dispenses naloxone shall not be liable for civil damages of ordinary negligence for acts or omissions resulting from the rendering of such treatment if he acts in good faith and that a person to whom naloxone has been dispensed pursuant to the provisions of the bill may possess naloxone and may administer naloxone to a person who is believed to be experiencing or about to experience a life-threatening opioid overdose.

BUDGET. NOBODY GOT KILLED. WHEN WE HAD A BILL A FEW YEARS AGO, IT SAID THAT YOU COULDN'T USE A PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENT, ONE OF THE SENIOR EXECUTIVES WHO BUILT THE METRO, SAID "FROM WHAT I WAS TOLD, ASK THOSE GENIUSES IN RICHMOND WHO VOTED FOR THIS, WHERE I'M SUPPOSED TO FIND 450 ELECTRICIANS" HE HAD A GOOD POINT MR. PRESIDENT. THE FACT IS, YOU CAN'T. THEY KNOW IT. THIS BILL IS SIMPLY A POKE IN THE EYE AT ORGANIZED LABOR. IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT TO DO, FINE. LET'S CALL IT FOR WHAT IT IS. HE DIDN'T SAVE IN VIRGINIA, ONE DARN PENNY. NOT ONE DARN PENNY. IT'S INSURING THAT ONE CONTRACT SOMEWHERE, IS GOING TO BE RUN OUT OF SITE. BY THE WAY, OUR P-3'S ARE ALMOST ALL ON PROJECTS, THAT HAVE FEDERAL DOLLARS. THIS BILL IS ABSOLUTELY WORTH THE LESS -- WORTHLESS.
