McFarland council approves letter backing AB 15 86 to equip school responders with opioid antidotes
Summary
The council voted to approve a letter supporting AB 15 86, a bill to ensure trained school responders are equipped to act immediately in opioid overdose emergencies; the motion passed unanimously on the consent agenda.
The McFarland City Council voted to send a letter of support for AB 15 86, which the presiding official described as a “common sense response to a real and urgent safety concern facing our schools.” The council approved the consent agenda, including the letter, by unanimous roll call after Vice Mayor Cano moved and Council member Gutierrez seconded.
Speaking in favor, the presiding official said, “AB 15 86 does not create a new system or impose unnecessary burdens, rather strengthens exist school safety practices by giving trained professionals the tools they need to respond swiftly and effectively in life threatening situations.” Council members offered no objections during the consent vote. The action records the council’s formal support and does not itself change local policy; it is a letter to the state advocating that the measure be enacted.
