The Baltimore City Council Public Health and Environment Committee heard two substantive items: a committee resolution on placing naloxone alongside automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in public buildings and a public hearing on allowing emergency medical services (EMS) personnel to administer buprenorphine after overdoses. The committee approved the naloxone resolution (5–0) and directed staff to form a working group to identify priority locations for naloxone placement. The buprenorphine proposal drew extensive expert and public testimony supporting EMS-initiated treatment, but the Law Department reported the measure may be preempted by state EMS regulation; members requested legal research and further coordination with the administration and state regulators.
