Emergency Access Naloxone Cabinet

The Good Samaritan Law and Emergency Access Naloxone Cabinets
Ohio law contains a “Good Samaritan” clause that protects someone who gives naloxone to an overdosing person and then calls 9-1-1, even if the caller was using drugs. This same law applies to locations that host NaloxBoxes (Section 2925.61: https://codes.ohio.gov/ohio-revised-code/section-2925.61).
