Syringe exchange programs.

A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to syringe exchange programs

This bill would require the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) to provide opioid overdose reversal drugs, such as naloxone, to all syringe exchange programs operating in the City. It would also require DOHMH to ensure that all syringe exchange staff members were properly trained in overdose prevention and reversal.
