These programs would teach how to give an opioid emergency medicine. This covers programs seeking state approval to train alcohol servers. The training requirement would start one year after the bill becomes law.

A person giving the medicine in a taproom or tavern would be treated as giving emergency care and exempt from civil liability under state law.
