Required Activity Unit Affected Local Cost
Requires secondary schools to offer training to students on how to administer naloxone hydrochloride nasal spray.  The training must be offered as an extracurricular activity, delivered by a qualified individual and based on the standards of a nationally recognized program, organization or agency. School Moderate statewide
The required local activities in this bill may represent a state mandate pursuant to the Constitution of Maine. If the bill does require a local unit of government to expand or modify its activities so as to necessitate additional expenditures from local revenue, the state mandate provisions of the Constitution of Maine require either: (1) General Fund appropriations be provided to fund at least 90% of any additional necessitated local costs of the mandate; or (2) a Mandate Preamble be added to the bill and two-thirds of the members of each House vote to exempt the mandate from the funding requirement. If the bill does represent a state mandate and neither one of these actions occurs, the local units of government will not be required to implement the mandated activities.
Fiscal Detail and Notes
Additional costs to the Department of Education associated with the rulemaking process can be absorbed within existing budgeted resources.
