New York will require naloxone in restaurant and bar first aid kits starting in December
Starting Sunday, Dec. 13, nearly every bar, restaurant and nightclub in New York State will have to keep naloxone, the overdose-reversal drug sold as Narcan, in its first aid kit. In an email to food and beverage businesses, the city Department of Small Business Services said employers must include an opioid antagonist such as naloxone wherever federal law already requires them to stock first aid supplies.
