Honolulu on Monday became the first American city to require that bars, nightclubs and restaurants carry the anti-overdose medication naloxone.
“Naloxone is a necessary tool these days in light of the national opioid epidemic,” Tyler Dos Santos-Tam, a member of Honolulu City Council, old the Honolulu Star-Advertiser. “It should be available and accessible in as many places as possible, in the same way we have fire extinguishers and defibrillators in case of emergencies.”
