OH SB57

Establishes a one-year pilot project in Lorain County allowing qualified emergency responders (EMTs, paramedics, peace officers, firefighters) to obtain and administer naloxone to persons suffering from opioid overdoses.

Provides immunity from civil liability, professional licensing board sanctions, and criminal prosecution for licensed health professionals who prescribe naloxone to qualified responders, responders who obtain and administer naloxone, and their employing organizations.

Requires the Lorain County Coroner to provide training on opioid overdose recognition and naloxone administration, with responders receiving a completion letter to become "qualified."

Mandates emergency medical service organizations, law enforcement agencies, and firefighting agencies to maintain records of naloxone receipt and use, submitting monthly reports to the Lorain County Narcan Task Force, County Coroner, and Ohio Department of Health.

Requires the Lorain County Narcan Task Force and Ohio Department of Health to study pilot project effectiveness and submit findings and recommendations to state leadership within four months after the pilot ends regarding continuation, expansion, statewide adoption, or expiration.
