PA SB 89: new version, Printer's No. PN0945
Summary
Pennsylvania SB 89 (Printer's No. PN0945) amends the Overdose Mapping Act to formally include EMS providers as mandatory reporters of overdoses and suspected overdoses to the state's overdose information network. EMS providers must submit reports within 72 hours through an approved information technology platform, including patient care report systems under 35 Pa.C.S. Ch. 81, with an exception for providers lacking platform access. The Department of Health and Pennsylvania State Police are required to coordinate to integrate EMS-reported data and de-duplicate reports across authorized users.
What this may mean
EMS providers operating in Pennsylvania become mandatory reporters under the Overdose Mapping Act, with a 72-hour reporting deadline and a required technology platform for submission. The law expands the authorized user category and creates interagency data-sharing obligations between the Department of Health and State Police, touching SUD surveillance infrastructure relevant to behavioral health and addiction treatment compliance stakeholders.
