CO SB066

Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment must contract with opioid antagonist medication distributors for bulk purchasing and distribution of FDA-approved opioid antagonists (e.g., naloxone)

Distributors are prohibited from receiving state contracts if they were found liable, settled claims, or paid fines/penalties related to manufacturing or distributing opioids that resulted in overdose events

The prohibition extends to any division, subsidiary, parent, affiliate, or related entity under common ownership or control of a company with opioid liability

Department must implement a competitive selection process under the state Procurement Code, with distributors required to demonstrate eligibility and department required to verify compliance

Any contract violating these requirements is void and unenforceable as contrary to state public policy; selection process records become public after contract award
