Federal prisons would be required to keep opioid overdose reversal medicine available in many areas.
This bill, called the Federal Prisons Naloxone Access Act of 2025, would require all federal prisons to keep opioid overdose reversal kits, like Naloxone, in many areas. It would also make sure prison staff and incarcerated people get trained to use them. This aims to make federal prisons safer by allowing quick action during an overdose.
Currently, no federal law specifically requires all federal prisons to stock opioid overdose reversal medicine. Nor does it require training staff and incarcerated people to use it. If this bill becomes law, federal prisons would be required to keep these life-saving kits in many areas. They would also need to ensure proper storage and provide annual training to both staff and incarcerated people on how to use them.
