The bill aims to enhance the accessibility of overdose information for law enforcement and emergency service providers in Washington State. It mandates the creation of a new section in chapter 43.70 RCW, which requires the Department to develop 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 overdose 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 intended to improve the response to overdose situations and enhance public safety through better-informed emergency services.
