County health departments in New Jersey must obtain and maintain reserve stocks of opioid antidotes (such as naloxone) in accessible storage locations to ensure uninterrupted supply for local entities

Law enforcement agencies, emergency medical response entities, schools, and hospital pharmacies may request interim supplies from county reserve stocks when they anticipate exhausting their own supplies before receiving new orders

Reserve stock quantities will be determined by each county health department director in consultation with the county prosecutor, county association of police chiefs, county association of fire chiefs, and input from local agencies and schools

Entities receiving interim supplies from county reserves must reimburse the county health department for actual acquisition and delivery costs

County health departments may enter into shared service agreements under the Uniform Shared Services and Consolidation Act to obtain discounted rates and minimize costs
