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.
