• Provides immunity from civil suits to those who prescribe naloxone
• Allows the Department of Health to provide training on naloxone use
• Grants civil immunity for administering naloxone to someone who appears to be overdosing on an opioid
• Requires Tennessee residents to receive basic instruction on how to administer naloxone, in order to be protected by this law
