Each institution must develop a policy designating a licensed campus medical professional (physician, PA, nurse) to oversee the naloxone program and authorize other community members like resident assistants, campus security, and athletic trainers to administer the spray

Designated personnel may only administer naloxone after completing required training on emergency protocols and overdose prevention information

Overdose victims must be transported to a hospital emergency room by emergency services after naloxone administration, even if symptoms appear resolved
