The bill amends existing laws related to the Opioid Overdose Fatality Review Board, transferring its duties to the Office of the Attorney General. It removes the creation of the Board, which was set to exist until July 1, 2025, and instead designates the Attorney General as the entity responsible for coordinating efforts to address opioid overdose deaths. The Attorney General will have the authority to conduct case reviews, collect and analyze data, and develop a database on opioid overdose deaths. Additionally, the bill requires the Attorney General to maintain confidentiality of sensitive information and allows for the assignment of duties to assistants or employees within the office.

Furthermore, the bill repeals the section concerning the membership of the Opioid Overdose Fatality Review Board and establishes new reporting requirements for the Attorney General, including the submission of annual statistical reports on opioid overdose deaths. It mandates that entities provide requested records to the Attorney General and outlines the process for reviewing overdose death certificates. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, and includes an emergency clause for immediate implementation upon passage.
