Two City Council members are proposing the city provide overdose reversal medication to child care centers in response to the tragic death of an infant boy in September, the Daily News has learned.

The proposal, which is outlined in a bill Council members Shaun Abreu and Pierina Sanchez plan to introduce Thursday, would create the Child Care Opioid Antagonist Program to allow child care centers and day cares to receive doses of naloxone through the city Health Department.

“There is no such thing as being too prepared when it comes to protecting out kids. Unfortunately, we learned this lesson in the most devastating way last September, when preschool kids in a Bronx day care center were exposed to opioids, and the parents of 1-year-old Nicholas Dominici I received a phone call that no parent should ever have to receive,” Abreu told The News.

“We are introducing this legislation to prevent this nightmare from ever happening again.”
