SB 89 Pennsylvania Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

An Act amending the act of November 3, 2022 (P.L.2158, No.158), known as the Overdose Mapping Act, further providing for definitions and for establishment and design; and providing for entry requirements for EMS providers.

SB 89 requires EMS providers responding to overdoses in Pennsylvania to report specific details - such as time, location, substances involved, and whether reversal drugs were used - within 72 hours to an approved digital reporting system. This directly affects EMS providers who must now document incidents under standardized guidelines, supplementing existing reporting obligations. The bill amends the Overdose Mapping Act to clarify that EMS providers are "authorized users" who must submit data to the Overdose Information Network (ODIN) or other approved platforms, ensuring coordinated data sharing with the Pennsylvania State Police and Department of Health. It does not change other legal reporting requirements but mandates real-time data entry to improve overdose tracking.

MINOR
This bill version expands the definition of who must report overdoses to include specific patient care data systems used by EMS providers, ensuring these reports are integrated into the statewide network. It also clarifies that reports from multiple sources about the same incident must be identified as such to prevent duplication. Additionally, the reporting requirement for EMS providers is now explicitly tied to their status as providers on behalf of an EMS agency.
