Bill Summary
Provide safe harbor for pregnant women seeking assistance for substance abuse
AI Summary
This bill provides a safe harbor for pregnant women seeking assistance for substance abuse. It creates a voluntary program for local public health units to enter into chemical dependency and prenatal support plans with pregnant women experiencing substance use disorders. The bill specifies that unsuccessful completion of these plans does not result in mandatory reporting obligations, and that pregnant women participating in the plans retain their privacy rights. It also amends existing law to exempt pregnant women seeking or receiving treatment for substance use disorders from certain criminal provisions. The bill directs the Department of Public Health and Human Services to adopt rules and establish a grant program to fund these local programs.
