Bill > S241

This bill requires the Department of Public Health to submit annual reports to key legislative bodies (the Speaker of the House, Senate President, Joint Committee on Public Health, and Joint Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies) concerning problem gambling treatment programs funded by the public health trust fund. Specifically, the reports must detail the treatment programs receiving funding, the number of individuals served (distinguishing between new and continuing clients), comprehensive demographic information about those served (including sex, age, race, ethnicity, income, education, and geographic location), and the treatment outcomes for individuals enrolled in these programs. By mandating these detailed annual reports, the bill aims to increase transparency and provide legislators with in-depth insights into the effectiveness and reach of problem gambling treatment initiatives funded by the state.
