  • a person who provides such a drug for emergency administration to an individual authorized to receive it as part of an opioid overdose program; and
  • a person who provides for emergency administration of such a drug to an individual who reasonably appears to have suffered an overdose from heroin or another opioid if such person obtained such drug from a health care professional or as part of an opioid overdose program and was educated by such professional or program in the proper administration of such drug.
