The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 6659, aims to establish a task force dedicated to studying the application of global positioning system (GPS) technology in tracking and responding to opioid overdoses. The task force will consist of police officers, firefighters, emergency medical services personnel, and public health officials, who will explore how GPS can enhance the effectiveness of first responders in addressing the opioid crisis.

The bill does not include any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to formalize the creation of the task force. The primary objective is to investigate the potential benefits of utilizing GPS technology to improve response times and coordination among emergency services in situations involving opioid overdoses.
