Bill > SB174

Introduced Session

This legislation creates a Drug Overdose Fatality Review Commission, similar to commissions that the state has in place to review child deaths and the deaths of domestic violence victims. The purpose of the Commission is to examine the facts and circumstances of deaths resulting from prescription opioid, fentanyl and heroin overdoses and make recommendations to the state based on those examinations as to how to prevent future overdose deaths.
