Spanning dozens of sections of Utah law, this bill replaces the term "opiate" with updated terminology — changing "opiate" to "opioid-like substance," "opiate antagonist" to "opioid antagonist," and "opiate-related drug overdose event" to "opioid-related drug overdose event" — to align state law with current medical and scientific language. The bill also includes coordination clauses to ensure these terminology changes are consistent with other related bills passed during the same legislative session.
