BANGOR, Maine (WABI) - Gov. Janet Mills signed a bill into law this week that requires all EMS workers in Maine to be trained in dispensing Narcan.
The bill, sponsored by Sen. Joe Baldacci, D-Penobscot, also requires EMS personnel to carry Narcan on their person and be prepared to dispense it as needed while on duty.
The law will go into effect in 90 days.
