Opioid Overdose Data Collection Enhancement Act

Enhanced Data Tracking: The bill allows States, local governments, law enforcement coalitions, or Indian tribes to develop tools, such as mobile data mapping applications, to easily and quickly track the locations of suspected fatal and nonfatal overdoses and the administration of reversal medication (Section 3, subsection (g)(1)).

Coordinated Responses: Those implementing the program are required to support the development of coordinated public safety, behavioral health, and public health responses based on the collected data (Section 3, subsection (g)(3)(A)).

Targeted Intervention: The program requires a focus on areas where fatal and nonfatal overdoses occur and trends that are of concern (Section 3, subsection (g)(3)(B)).

Information Sharing: The bill ensures interoperability between existing Federal, State, local, and Tribal overdose data collection tools (Section 3, subsection (g)(3)(C)). It also requires that data collected through the program be made available to Federal, State, Tribal, and territorial governments and coalitions of law enforcement agencies (Section 3, subsection (g)(3)(D)).

Grant Restrictions for Law Enforcement Coalitions: A coalition of law enforcement agencies is eligible to receive a grant only for the specific purpose of implementing the overdose data collection program (Section 3, subsection (g)(2)(A)).

Administrative Burdens: Entities seeking a grant to implement these programs must conduct an audit of available data and resources and include that audit as part of their grant application (Section 3, subsection (g)(4)).
