Representative Tom Kean Is Protecting New Jersey Families from Fentanyl

Fentanyl-related overdose deaths have declined sharply in recent years, but the threat has not disappeared. Representative Tom Kean is working to build on that progress by giving local law enforcement and first responders more tools to protect families and respond when lives are at risk.

Giving First Responders the Tools They Need

Representative Tom Kean introduced the Fight Against Fentanyl Act, legislation that would allow state and local law enforcement agencies to use existing grant funding to purchase fentanyl testing kits and opioid overdose-reversal medications.

Those resources can help first responders identify dangerous substances and respond quickly when an overdose occurs. For Representative Tom Kean, it's a practical step toward making sure the people protecting New Jersey communities have access to tools that can help save lives.

Building On Progress. Protecting Families.

The Fight Against Fentanyl Act is part of Representative Tom Kean's broader work to address fentanyl and strengthen public safety. Progress against fentanyl is encouraging, and keeping it going requires continued action.

Thank you, Representative Tom Kean, for taking action to protect New Jersey families and giving first responders more tools to address fentanyl.
