Opioid Overdose Data Collection Enhancement Act

YourVoice.Now Summary

First responders and public health agencies would get new federal grant money to build real-time tracking systems for opioid overdoses under this bill, which expands the Justice Department's Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Grant Program. States, local governments, coalitions of law enforcement agencies, and tribes could use the funding to build mobile apps and data tools that track where fatal and nonfatal overdoses happen and where paramedics, police, and firefighters administer overdose-reversal medication like Narcan. Recipients would be required to make their data compatible with existing federal, state, and local overdose-tracking systems and to share the information across agencies to help identify overdose hotspots faster. Before spending the grant money, recipients must first audit the data tools they already have to avoid duplicating existing efforts.

We're building an app that does this for every bill in Congress and lets you tell your reps how you want them to vote. We're a small team getting ready to launch, and we're trying to show investors that real people want this. Be one of them. Help us get it built. Leave your email and we'll tell you the moment the app is ready.

By default, we'll only email you once — when the app launches. Unless you opt in below, you won't receive anything else. We don't share or sell your email.
