Safer Response Act of 2025
This bill reauthorizes through FY2030 and expands grants to government entities to provide first responders with opioid overdose reversal drugs (e.g., naloxone) and related training. The grant program is administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
The bill expands the program to include treatment and training for overdoses from other drugs besides opioids (current law limits the program to addressing opioid overdoses). Also, the bill expands the program to more generally include treatments with drugs or devices that are legally marketed under applicable law (current law limits the program to drugs or devices that are officially approved or cleared by the Food and Drug Administration).
