Bill > S5130

This bill, the Opioid Overdose Data Collection Enhancement Act, amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to enhance the Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Grant Program. The key provisions of the bill are: 1) It allows grant funds to be used for an "overdose data collection program" that enables states, local governments, law enforcement coalitions, and tribes to track the locations of fatal and non-fatal overdoses, as well as the administration of opioid overdose reversal medication by first responders. 2) It makes coalitions of law enforcement agencies eligible to receive grants specifically for implementing the overdose data collection program, subject to the same requirements as states, local governments, and tribes. 3) It requires the data collected through these programs to be made available to various government entities and law enforcement coalitions, and that the programs support coordinated public safety, behavioral health, and public health responses. 4) It requires grant applicants to conduct an audit of available data and resources to avoid duplication. 5) It requires the Attorney General to consult with relevant agencies that maintain overdose data collection tools. The overall purpose of the bill is to expand the adoption and implementation of real-time data collection tools to track fatal and non-fatal overdoses and opioid overdose reversal medication administration.
