Bill Summary
Relative to enhanced driver impairment prevention during the incarceration and rehabilitation of drunken drivers. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to enhance driver impairment prevention during the incarceration and rehabilitation of drunk drivers. It proposes to amend existing law to require individuals undergoing residential alcohol treatment programs or outpatient counseling to undergo an assessment using a standardized, evidence-based instrument to determine if they have a substance use disorder and would benefit from medication-assisted treatment approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. If medication is indicated, the individual would be required to see or be referred to a provider authorized to prescribe the approved medication, which would be provided for as long as clinically necessary as part of their individualized treatment plan.
