Opioid and methamphetamine data system
This bill requires DOA to issue a request for proposals to establish and maintain an opioid and methamphetamine data system to collect, format, analyze, and disseminate information on opioid and methamphetamine use as specified in the bill. DOA must collaborate with and collect data from DHS, DOC, DOJ, DSPS, and DCF and any other applicable agencies for the opioid and methamphetamine data system. Under the bill, DOA administers the contract with a vendor to operate the opioid and methamphetamine data system, has access to the data contained in the opioid and methamphetamine data system, and works with the vendor to disseminate information and advanced analytics from the opioid and methamphetamine data system in as close to real time as possible. The opioid and methamphetamine data system must allow the state agencies that submit data to the opioid and methamphetamine data system access to the data in the opioid and methamphetamine data system as appropriate for the agency to fulfill its functions and as allowed by state and federal confidentiality laws. The bill requires DOA to submit a report to the governor and appropriate standing committees of the legislature summarizing the information from the opioid and methamphetamine data system and analyzing trends in that information across years of data collection.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
