Illinois HB3645 mandates reporting of opioid overdoses by emergency medical services personnel and protects the confidentiality of the reported data.
HB3645 amends the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Systems Act to require EMS personnel to report opioid overdoses to a designated technology platform. The reported information, which includes details such as the date, location, and outcome of the overdose, must be submitted within 24 hours. The bill ensures that this data is used solely for public safety and health efforts, and it prohibits its use in criminal investigations or welfare checks. Personnel reporting overdoses in good faith are granted immunity from civil or criminal liability.
