Bill > SF3172

This bill requires the state's substance use subcabinet to develop and publish a comprehensive substance use and addiction plan for Minnesota, establishing a statewide strategic approach to addressing substance misuse and substance use disorders. The plan will set goals and priorities for the entire continuum of care, from prevention to recovery, and will be binding on all state agencies operating or funding programs related to substance use. The bill amends existing statutes to mandate that state agencies align their program goals and budgets with this comprehensive plan, and allows the subcabinet to request agencies submit their relevant plans for review. Additionally, the bill modifies the responsibilities of the Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Section in the Department of Human Services, streamlining its duties while maintaining its core functions of research, public education, monitoring services, and supporting substance use disorder programs. The changes aim to create a more coordinated and strategic approach to addressing substance use challenges across Minnesota, with a particular focus on reducing barriers to treatment and supporting communities most impacted by substance use disorders.
