From A14 tion, district or municipal departments of health and law enforcement agencies.

The bill would also create a pilot program to create harm-reduction centers in three undetermined municipalities in the state.

A harm reduction center is a place where individuals can safely take controlled substances under the supervision of health care providers who can provide treatment if necessary. These centers rely on a harm reduction approach that acknowledges that some cannot fully abstain from using drugs and that minimizing harm is the most effective approach.

A different bill, Senate Bill 1163, would allow funds from the Opioid Settlement Fund to be used to provide municipal police departments with opioid antagonists such as naloxone.

While this is a win for advocates who say it will help in cases where a bystander without naloxone calls 911, Morris suggests taking further steps and having a rapid response team of trained volunteers, such as ORRS, the Indiana University School of Public Health’s Opioid Rapid Response System. If emergency services are unable to reach the person overdosing in time, they send trained citizens who have the ability to administer naloxone.

“They [ORRS] have volunteers in whatever area they’re serving all around the town to cover all the space. If an overdose is called, it’s kind of like Uber, where you put your app on when you’re available, you turn it off when you’re not, they reach out to whoever is closest to go,” explained Morris.

Another approach being considered is similar to Morris’ day-to-day job. Senate Bill 1102 would allow pharmacies to operate a mobile pharmacy that would provide naloxone and train people on how to use it, among other services. The bill states that mobile pharmacies must operate in underserved communities, opening up opportunities for towns where there is a lack of access to naloxone.

A more administrative approach not directly related to naloxone is being considered in House Bill 6698, which would create the Office of the Chief Drug Policy Officer. The office would col- lect information regarding services to individuals with substance use disorder and would also be the point of contact for the expanded statewide peer navigator program.

Liability for Injuries to Workers: One of the biggest risks to a homeowner is potential liability if a worker is injured while on the job on their property. If a contractor is unlicensed and uninsured, the contractor and his employees are automatically considered employees of the property owner. Thus, if a worker is injured while working on the property, the injured worker may sue the homeowner. An injured employee might be able legally to collect worker’s compensation from the homeowner’s insurance policy.
