The Pennsylvania Senate Veterans Affairs and Emergency Preparedness Committee unanimously voted to approve legislation aimed at drastically improving tracking of drug overdoses and the response to those incidents.

Senate Bill 1152, sponsored by Sen. Doug Mastriano, R-Franklin, would require law enforcement and emergency medical services agencies to report all overdose incidents within 72 hours to the statewide Overdose Information Network (ODIN) or any other platform approved by the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) to capture real-time overdose reporting.
