flag Kansas bills aim to combat youth fentanyl overdoses with naloxone in schools and mandatory education.

flag Kansas lawmakers have introduced House Bill 2489, requiring schools to stock naloxone and provide fentanyl education for students in grades 9 through 12, following a rise in youth overdoses. flag The bill, backed by first responders and grieving families, aims to equip schools with life-saving tools amid data showing 74% of child drug deaths in Kansas were fentanyl-related. flag Advocates compare naloxone access to fire extinguishers, while some educators raise concerns about nonmedical staff administering medication. flag The bill has been discussed in committee but has not yet been scheduled for a full vote. flag In Oklahoma, House Bill 1484, named after a teen who died from fentanyl poisoning, seeks to mandate age-appropriate fentanyl education and establish Fentanyl Poisoning Awareness Week, having passed through multiple committees but awaiting a Senate floor vote.
