Official summary
Abstract published by the legislature (via Open States). Text as published by the legislature; reproduced verbatim.
This Act requires taprooms and taverns to keep at least 2 working opioid antagonists on the premises at all times. It also requires employees who sell alcohol to receive training in the use of opioid antagonists in an emergency as part of State-mandated training. This Act also confirms that an employee of a taproom or tavern who administers an opioid antagonist to a patron is exempt from civil liability if acting in good faith and not wilfully, wantonly, recklessly, or with gross negligence. This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.
