Bill > A00253

This bill requires the commissioners of the Office of Addiction Services and Supports and the Department of Health to submit quarterly reports about the opioid stewardship fund to several key government officials, including the senate president, assembly speaker, and chairs of alcohol and drug abuse committees. These detailed reports must include comprehensive financial information such as the current fund balance, amounts disbursed during the quarter, and specific details about fund recipients, including their names, addresses, and the amounts they were awarded or received. The bill mandates that each quarterly report be compiled and maintained in conjunction with previously submitted reports, ensuring a comprehensive and transparent tracking of fund distribution. The legislation aims to increase accountability and provide clear oversight of how funds related to opioid services and support are being allocated and used, which is particularly important given the ongoing opioid crisis and the significant public health challenges associated with addiction treatment and prevention.
