Letter in support of Act S2756. An Act to Support College Students in Recovery

Dear Mr. Michael Rodrigues,

I am writing to tell you that I support Act S2756, “An Act to Support College Students in Recovery.” This bill would help make sure students, teachers, and staff at public colleges know how to respond to an overdose and have access to naloxone (Narcan).

Thank you for your time and for helping people in our community. 

Sincerely,
