What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill requires the Department of Health Services to include reports of administration of naloxone or another opioid antagonist by ambulance service providers to its data system that tracks ambulance run data, currently known as the Wisconsin Ambulance Run Data System or WARDS. Current law requires ambulance services providers to require emergency medical responders and emergency medical services practitioners under their supervision to keep a record of each instance of administration of naloxone or another opioid antagonist to an individual who is believed to be undergoing an opioid-related drug overdose and to report this information to DHS in the manner prescribed by DHS.

The bill also requires DHS to submit the records received from the ambulance service providers on administration of naloxone or another opioid antagonist to the prescription drug monitoring program. The bill also requires DHS to consult with the Controlled Substances Board, which administers the PDMP, if necessary to determine a method to facilitate inclusion of the reports from DHS into the PDMP.
