California requires naloxone video training where employers mandate CPR
AB 2150 (Chapter 384), signed September 20, requires California employers that mandate CPR certification training to also require an Emergency Medical Services Authority-approved online video module on naloxone use, at the employer's cost. The training covers overdose recognition, response actions, and proper administration of naloxone or other FDA-approved opioid antagonists. It creates no independent duty to administer naloxone and sets a floor other agencies may exceed.
