Bill > SF2499

This bill modifies existing Minnesota law regarding emergency medical services (EMS) prehospital care data, specifically focusing on overdose incident information sharing. Currently, prehospital care data is classified as private under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act. The bill would allow the director of EMS to share specific overdose-related data with the Washington/Baltimore High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area's Overdose Detection Mapping Application Program (ODMAP), including details such as location, time, fatality status, suspected drug type, naloxone administration, and first responder type. ODMAP would be permitted to enable secure access for authorized users to report and view near real-time overdose incident information, create geographic maps of overdose incidents, and provide data to help state and local authorities make informed decisions about allocating public health, public safety, and educational resources related to overdose monitoring and reporting. This change aims to improve data collection and response capabilities for addressing drug overdose incidents.
