This bill, titled the Overcoming Prevalent Inadequacies in Overdose Information Data Sets Act (OPIOIDS Act), authorizes the Attorney General to award grants to states, territories, and localities. These grants aim to significantly improve data collection and surveillance on opioid-related overdoses, funding activities like enhanced postmortem toxicology testing, data linkage across systems, and training for officers on overdose response and related criminal activity. The Attorney General may also provide grants to local law enforcement agencies and forensic laboratories in communities with high overdose rates. These funds support training for officers to identify overdoses, upgrade systems for drug tracing and sample processing for timely reporting to the National Forensic Laboratory Information System (NFLIS) , and train personnel to trace criminals on the darknet, with mandatory reporting of overdose data to NFLIS by grantees. Furthermore, the legislation directs Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers to train state and local agencies on coordinating drug-related activity tracking. It also expands COPS grants to include resources for containment devices to prevent first responders' exposure to fentanyl and requires the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to develop uniform reporting standards for NFLIS data and to include a specific budget line item for the Fentanyl Signature Profiling Program .
