“Pennsylvanians should not be punished for carrying medications that saves lives,” Curry said. “Naloxone is a proven opioid reversal agent that has already saved many people from the effects of an overdose poisoning.

We’re going to change that, and I thank my colleagues in the House for delivering this long-overdue bill to end the stigma surrounding substance use disorders.” Read more
