Opioid Overdose Data Collection Enhancement Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Passed the Senate without a recorded vote, then expired. It passed by voice vote or unanimous consent, which don't record how each member voted, but didn't become law before the 118th Congress ended.

Opioid Overdose Data Collection Enhancement Act
This bill expands the allowable uses of grants under the Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Grant Program to include the adoption and implementation of an overdose data collection program to track fatal and nonfatal overdoses and the administration of opioid overdose reversal medication (e.g., the Overdose Detection Mapping Application Program).
Specifically, the bill allows states, local governments, coalitions of law enforcement agencies, and Indian tribes to use these grants to develop and implement a data collection tool, including mobile data mapping applications. The tool must allow these entities to easily and quickly track the locations of (1) suspected fatal and nonfatal overdoses, and (2) the administration of opioid overdose reversal medication by first responders.
An entity seeking to use a grant must first conduct an audit of available data and resources and submit the audit with the grant application.
Grant recipients must (1) support the development of coordinated public safety, behavioral health, and public health responses to the data collected by the tool; (2) focus on areas in which fatal and nonfatal overdoses occur and trends of concern; (3) provide for interoperability with existing overdose data collection tools; and (4) make data collected through the program available to federal, state, tribal, and territorial governments and coalitions of law enforcement agencies.
The Department of Justice must consult with agencies that maintain overdose data collection tools, including the Office of National Drug Control Policy.
