Bill 118 HR 3751, also known as the Department of Defense Overdose Data Act of 2023, aims to address the issue of drug overdoses within the Department of Defense (DoD) by requiring the collection and reporting of data related to overdoses among service members. The bill mandates that the Secretary of Defense establish a system for collecting and maintaining data on drug overdoses that occur among members of the armed forces. This data will include information on the type of drug involved, the circumstances surrounding the overdose, and any other relevant details. Additionally, the bill requires the Secretary of Defense to report annually to Congress on the data collected, including an analysis of trends and patterns in drug overdoses among service members. This report will also include recommendations for addressing and preventing drug overdoses within the military. Overall, the Department of Defense Overdose Data Act of 2023 seeks to improve the understanding of drug overdoses within the military and to develop strategies for preventing future overdoses among service members. By collecting and analyzing data on drug overdoses, the DoD can better address this critical issue and ensure the health and well-being of military personnel.
