AN ACT ESTABLISHING A TASK FORCE TO STUDY THE USE OF GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY TO TRACK AND RESPOND TO OPIOID OVERDOSES.
HB 6659 establishes a task force to study how global positioning system (GPS) technology could help first responders - like police, firefighters, EMS, and public health officials - track and respond to opioid overdoses more effectively. The bill does not implement GPS tracking but directs the task force to examine potential applications of this technology for emergency response. The task force will analyze whether GPS tools could improve coordination and speed during overdose incidents. This is a study-focused bill with no immediate policy changes; it only creates a group to research options.
