In June 2014, the Maryland Overdose Response Advisory Council originated, when the Governor created the Governor's Overdose Prevention Council as a subcabinet within the Governor's Office (Executive Order 01.01.2014.12). In February 2015, authorization for the Governor's Overdose Prevention Council was rescinded by the Governor, and replaced by the Governor's Inter-Agency Heroin and Opioid Coordinating Council (Executive Order 01.01.2015.13). In December 2023, the Governor rescinded authorization for the Governor's Inter-Agency Heroin and Opioid Coordinating Council, when the Governor established the Maryland Overdose Response Advisory Council (Executive Order 01.01.2023.21).
The charge of the Maryland Overdose Response Advisory Council is to facilitate data sharing among respective agencies; identify emerging challenges related to the provision of substance use disorder services, and recommend ways to address those challenges; and promote equity in the provision of substance use disorder services. The Council also is to share data related to equity among all relevant agencies; and coordinate the implementation of recommendations of the Maryland Commission on Health Equity related to overdose mortality and the Racial Disparities in Overdose Task Force.
Nineteen members constitute the Council. They include one representative from each of the following thirteen State departments: Aging, Commerce, Disabilities, Education, Emergency Management, Health, Housing and Community Development, Human Services, Juvenile Services, Labor, Public Safety and Correctional Services, State Police, and Veterans Affairs. Also among their number are representatives from these five agencies: the Maryland Judiciary; the Governor's Office of Crime Prevention and Policy; the Maryland Institute for Emergency Medical Service Systems; Maryland's Office of Overdose Response; and the Office of Public Defender. The Lt. Governor serves as Council Chair (Executive Order 01.01.2023.21).
