Bill > HF1429

This bill modifies an existing Minnesota law concerning emergency medical services (EMS) data, specifically expanding the ability of the EMS director to share overdose-related information with the Washington/Baltimore High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area's Overdose Detection Mapping Application Program (ODMAP). Currently, prehospital care data is classified as private under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act. The bill would now allow the director to share specific details about overdose incidents, including location, time, fatality status, suspected drug type, naloxone administration, and first responder type. The ODMAP system would be permitted to securely allow authorized users to report and view near real-time overdose incident information, create interactive maps of overdose locations, and provide data to help state and local authorities make informed decisions about public health, safety, and educational resource allocation related to suspected overdoses. This change aims to improve tracking and understanding of overdose incidents to better support prevention and response efforts.

Health and Social Services, Justice
