NJ: Murphy signs laws to fight opioid addiction in N.J., which claimed 3,000 lives in 2020 (Includes video)
NJ.com – July 02, 2021
Naloxone, the opioid overdose-reversing drug that saves thousands of lives in the state every year, will become vastly easier to obtain in New Jersey under a bipartisan package of bills Gov. Phil Murphy signed into law Friday. Better known by its brand name Narcan, Naloxone was administered 14,437 times in 2020, according to information from the state Attorney General’s Office. Still, 3,046 people in New Jersey died in 2020 from suspected drug overdoses, up from 3,021 in 2019. Drug addiction and overdoses have wreaked havoc on families. Murphy also signed legislation, S3814, that would require the child welfare system and the family courts to make efforts to place children with relatives instead of foster care.
