Sacramento, CA – Senate Bill 997, authored by Senator Anthony J. Portantino (D – Burbank), passed the Senator Floor. The bill helps tackle the opioid epidemic and drug related overdoses among our youth by allowing students to carry both fentanyl test strips and Narcan nasal product while on campus. The bill had its genesis during the Senator’s summer internship program, where interns have the opportunity to research subject areas and propose bill ideas directly to Senator Portantino.
