10:08:00 AM  
Senators Lundeen and Mullica, primary bill sponsors, presented Senate Bill 25-066, which states that the Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) administers the Opiate Antagonist Bulk Purchase Fund which facilitates the bulk purchasing of opiate antagonists at a discounted price and the distribution of these products to eligible entities.  The bill requires CDPHE to implement a competitive selection process when purchasing and distributing bulk opioid antagonists. It also prohibits contracts with certain distributors, such as those found liable for opioid-related overdoses, and makes any existing contracts with such distributors void and unenforceable. Finally, the bill clarifies that CDPHE must purchase and distribute antagonists that are approved by the Federal Food and Drug Administration.
