S 1098

This bill, the Opioid Overdose Data Collection Enhancement Act, aims to improve how the federal government tracks opioid overdoses. It modifies the Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Grant Program to require grant recipients – including states, local governments, law enforcement coalitions, and tribes – to implement data collection programs that track both fatal and nonfatal overdoses and the administration of opioid reversal medications. These programs must be accessible through web and mobile platforms and be interoperable with existing data systems, ultimately supporting coordinated public safety responses.
