During the 2016 Legislative Session, House Bill (HB) 4124 passed into law and was signed by Oregon Governor Kate Brown on April 4, 2016. The law is intended to increase access to the life-saving opiate overdose reversal drug, naloxone. The law permits pharmacists to prescribe unit-of-use naloxone and the necessary supplies for administration to a person or organization that conducts training, and to an individual who has completed an OHA approved training.
