Minnesota Statutes Public Welfare and Related Activities (Ch. 245-267) § 245.891. Opioid overdose surge alert system

The commissioner must establish a voluntary, statewide opioid overdose surge text message alert system to prevent opioid overdose by cautioning people to refrain from substance use or to use harm reduction strategies when there is an overdose surge in their surrounding area. The alert system may include other forms of electronic alerts. The commissioner may collaborate with local agencies, other state agencies, and harm reduction organizations to promote and improve the surge alert system.
