Providing universal access to overdose information to law enforcement and emergency services providers.
HB 1933 requires the Washington Department of Health to create an interface connecting the state's emergency medical services system with an overdose detection mapping tool. This would provide law enforcement and emergency services agencies with universal access to aggregated overdose data (both fatal and nonfatal), organized by zip code to comply with privacy laws. The bill does not share individual patient information but enables agencies to view broader geographic trends in overdose incidents. It directly affects emergency response coordination by giving agencies data to inform resource allocation and community safety planning.
