I'm mandating Medication Based Assistance in all New York State jails and prisons.
This will make sure those currently and formerly incarcerated have access to the medicine they need to beat their addiction.
We are establishing an online directory for distributors of opioid antagonists – such as Naloxone – making them more accessible for New Yorkers who may want to access these life-saving medications.
We are ensuring no one has to think twice about carrying Naloxone and other life-saving opioid antagonists.
When someone is charged with possession of a controlled substance, these medications cannot be used as evidence.
And we are expanding opportunities for treatment over incarceration, providing New Yorkers a greater chance for successful, long-term rehabilitation.
Today’s bill signings will help save lives. To all of those who are struggling with addiction: New York is here for you, we are not giving up on you, and we are going to help you turn your life around.
@matters_network Will mail anyone naloxone for free. Head over to our website and send a text message, we will send it in the mail.
Will people in jails and prisons have access to Naloxone? I heard of one case where the person who saved the life of their cell mate was in trouble for having Naloxone.

We are decriminalizing the possession of syringes.
We know safe access to syringes is hugely beneficial for public health. You shouldn’t risk going to jail for having one.
