What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Health Services to create, and provides

funding for, two or three additional opioid treatment programs in underserved and

high-need, but not necessarily rural, areas. Current law requires DHS to create two

or three opioid treatment programs to provide treatment for addiction in rural and

underserved, high-need areas. The programs must provide counseling,

abstinence-based treatment, and medication-assisted treatment without using

methadone. The additional programs must conform to the same requirements as the

original programs.
