A bill made to put a life-saving antidote into the hands of first responders to prevent drug overdose deaths was signed into law Friday by Gov. Jerry Brown. Senate Bill 1438, by Senator Fran Pavley, D-Agoura Hills will equip firefighters, police officers and other first responders with naloxone, an antidote that can reverse the effects of prescription painkillers and heroin and abruptly stop an overdose episode. Law enforcements number one priority is to be able to save lives, and this is going to save lives the first week we put it into place, said Captain James Bovet of the San Diego County Sheriffs Department. hometownstation/santa-clarita-news/health/first-responders-be-equipped-life-saving-drug-antidote-43890
