Facilitating the rapid sharing of overdose mapping information for overdose prevention.

SB 5933 creates a centralized system for rapidly sharing overdose data to improve public health responses. It requires Washington's Department of Health to submit near real-time data from emergency medical services (including location, opioid reversal use, and fatality status) within 24 hours of patient care reports, starting January 1, 2027. The system will help identify overdose hotspots and guide immediate interventions like outreach, public education, and treatment resources, while explicitly prohibiting the use of this data for law enforcement or individual identification. This affects ambulance services, aid providers, and the Department of Health, who must submit and manage the data under strict privacy safeguards. The bill aims to streamline collaboration across health and public safety agencies to address the opioid overdose crisis.
