The bill aims to enhance the accessibility of overdose information for law enforcement and emergency service providers in Washington State. It introduces a new section to chapter 43.70 RCW, mandating the creation and installation of an interface that connects the Washington emergency medical services information system with the overdose detection mapping application program. This interface will ensure that all law enforcement agencies and emergency service providers have universal access to both fatal and nonfatal overdose data.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the data must be aggregated by zip code to adhere to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and to address privacy concerns related to individual overdose incidents. This initiative is designed to improve the response to overdose situations and enhance public safety through better-informed emergency services.
