University of Oregon students hope access to test strips, Naloxone increases through Legislature bill

A bill moving through the Oregon Legislature could smooth out those speed bumps. If passed, House Bill 2395 would make access easier to Naloxone, and it would protect the people who distribute it from liability. It would also decriminalize providing drug testing strips at public places, including on university campuses where drug use has shifted from being a risky but somewhat expected part of college life to a more serious and potentially deadly situation.
