Bill > HR3150

This bill, the Overcoming Prevalent Inadequacies in Overdose Information Data Sets Act (OPIOIDS Act), would allow the Attorney General to award grants to states, territories, and localities to improve data and surveillance on opioid-related overdoses, including through activities like enhancing postmortem toxicology testing, data linkage across systems, and comprehensive reporting of fatal and non-fatal overdoses. The bill also authorizes grants to local law enforcement agencies and forensic labs to provide training on identifying overdoses, upgrading systems for drug tracing and sample processing, and coordinating with partners to track drug-related activity. Additionally, the bill directs the Drug Enforcement Administration to develop uniform reporting standards for inputting data into the National Forensic Laboratory Information System and requires a specific budget line item for the Fentanyl Signature Profiling Program.
