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 the context of opioid overdose responses. The task force will focus on how this technology can be effectively utilized by various first responders, including police officers, firefighters, emergency medical services personnel, and public health officials, to enhance their ability to track and respond to opioid-related incidents.

The bill does not contain any deletions from current law but introduces new legal language to create the task force. The primary objective is to explore innovative solutions that could aid first responders in their efforts to combat the opioid crisis, thereby potentially improving response times and outcomes for individuals experiencing overdoses.
