The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 144E.123, subdivision 3, to enhance the management and sharing of emergency medical services overdose data. It allows the director or their designees to review prehospital care data, which is classified as private under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act.
Significantly, the bill introduces provisions that enable the director to share incident-level location data with the Washington/Baltimore High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area's Overdose Detection Mapping Application Program (ODMAP). This sharing will facilitate secure access for authorized users to report and view overdose incident information in near real-time, produce maps of overdose locations, and assist in making informed decisions regarding the allocation of public health and safety resources.
