Bill > HB06659

This bill proposes establishing a task force to investigate how Global Positioning System (GPS) technology could be used by first responders (including police officers, firefighters, emergency medical services personnel, and public health officials) to track and respond more effectively to opioid overdoses. The legislation aims to explore potential technological solutions to help combat the ongoing opioid crisis by leveraging GPS tracking capabilities. The task force would be charged with studying and developing strategies to potentially use GPS technology to improve emergency response times and interventions for individuals experiencing overdoses. By creating this task force, the bill seeks to develop innovative approaches to address the critical public health and safety challenges associated with opioid overdoses, potentially creating a more rapid and targeted response mechanism for first responders when overdose incidents occur.
