AI Summary
This bill aims to incorporate information about the administration of opioid maintenance treatment into the prescription monitoring program in Massachusetts. It requires the Department of Public Health to establish a process to include such information in the program, as long as it does not conflict with privacy rules. Additionally, the bill mandates that opioid treatment programs present a consent form to individuals entering treatment, allowing for the release of their opioid maintenance treatment information through the prescription monitoring program.
