Cal. Health & Safety Code § 11675 — OVERDOSE FATALITY REVIEW TEAMS is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
(a) A county or regional group of counties may establish an interagency overdose fatality review team to assist local agencies in identifying and reviewing overdose fatalities, facilitate communication among the various persons and agencies involved in overdose fatalities, and integrate local overdose prevention efforts through strategic planning, data dissemination, and community collaboration.
(b) A county may develop standardized protocols for postmortem examinations involving an overdose to assist coroners and other persons who perform postmortem examinations in determining whether drugs contributed to a death or were the actual cause of death. The protocols may establish written reporting procedures, including the proper designation of the cause and mode of death.
