STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS31479 / H0655
New illicit drugs are rapidly entering Idaho. Law enforcement and public health officials cannot afford to wait
until citizens die or become disabled to learn about the incidence and emergence of harmful illicit substances
trafficked in our communities. Local, county and state officials must have the data necessary for emergency
response planning and regional coordination. De-identified drug testing data is an untapped intelligence
resource for real time tracking of illicit addictive drugs across jurisdictions. Restricted access to a web portal
containing geo-marked and de-identified substance tracking data will supply officials with vital real-time
information about the threat to public health and safety posed by illicit drugs.
FISCAL NOTE
$300,000 to create and operate the illicit drug tracking portal.
