Bill > HB1031

This bill repeals the requirement that each local correctional facility make available at least one formulation of each FDA-approved medication used for treating opioid use disorder. Instead, it requires the Maryland Secretary of Health to annually provide each county a grant equal to the costs incurred by the county for implementing a medication-assisted treatment program in its correctional facilities. The bill also expands the authorized uses of the Opioid Restitution Fund to include providing grants to counties for implementing medication-assisted treatment programs in correctional facilities.
