AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure proper substance abuse treatment by amending Section 12 of Chapter 123 of the General Laws. Specifically, it inserts language that states a person remains subject to a commitment under Section 35 of Chapter 123, which deals with civil commitment for alcohol and substance abuse treatment, even after the person has received treatment under Sections 7 and 8 of the same chapter. This change provides continuity of care and ensures individuals receive the necessary treatment for their substance abuse issues.
