STATEMENT TO

ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE FOR

ASSEMBLY, No. 5457

with Assembly Floor Amendments

(Proposed by Assemblywoman VAINIERI HUTTLE)

ADOPTED: JUNE 3, 2021

      These Assembly amendments remove a provision that would have required recognized places of public access to acquire opioid antidotes under the bill in quantities and types as required by the Commissioner of Human Services.

      The Assembly amendments fix a reference to “opioid antidote” to read “opioid overdose.”
