Opioid Overdose Data Collection Enhancement Act
Summary
What This Bill Does
The Opioid Overdose Data Collection Enhancement Act amends the Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Grant Program to cover overdose data collection programs. States, local governments, coalitions of law enforcement agencies, and Indian Tribes may develop tools, including mobile mapping applications, to quickly track suspected fatal and nonfatal overdose locations and first-responder administration of opioid overdose reversal medication.
Coalitions of law enforcement agencies become eligible only for this overdose data purpose and must meet the same application requirements as states, local governments, and Tribes. Grantees must support coordinated public safety, behavioral health, and public health responses; focus on overdose hotspots and trends; make tools interoperable with existing overdose data systems; share data with federal, state, Tribal, territorial, and coalition users; audit existing data resources; and submit the audit with the grant application. The Attorney General must consult agencies with overdose data tools, including ONDCP.
Who Benefits and How
State overdose response programs benefit from grant eligibility for rapid overdose mapping. Local governments benefit from tools that identify fatal and nonfatal overdose locations. Law enforcement coalitions benefit from eligibility to fund data tools. Indian Tribes benefit from grant access and interoperable data-sharing requirements. First responders benefit when reversal medication use is tracked and linked to response planning. Public health agencies benefit from data that supports coordinated interventions.
Who Bears the Burden and How
Grant applicants must audit existing data resources and submit the audit to avoid duplication. Law enforcement coalitions must meet the same grant requirements as other applicants. The Attorney General must consult ONDCP and other data-tool agencies. Grantees must maintain interoperability, share data across governments, and focus on hotspots and trends. Privacy and data governance staff must manage sensitive overdose location information.
