Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Administration to issue a request for proposals, subject to approval by the Joint Committee on Finance under its passive review process, to establish and maintain an opioid and methamphetamine data system to collect, format, analyze, and disseminate information on opioid and methamphetamine use as specified in the bill. DOA must collaborate with and collect data from the Department of Health Services, the Department of Corrections, the Department of Justice, the Department of Safety and Professional Services, and the Department of Children and Families and any other applicable agencies for the opioid and methamphetamine data system. Under the bill, DOA administers the contract with a vendor to operate the opioid and methamphetamine data system, has access to the data contained in the opioid and methamphetamine data system, and works with the vendor to disseminate information and advanced analytics from the opioid and methamphetamine data system in as close to real time as possible. The opioid and methamphetamine data system must allow the state agencies that submit data to the opioid and methamphetamine data system access to the data in the opioid and methamphetamine data system as appropriate for the agency to fulfill its functions and as allowed by state and federal confidentiality laws. The bill requires DOA to submit a report to JCF summarizing the information from the opioid and methamphetamine data system and analyzing trends in that information across years of data collection.

For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
