Bill > SB422

This bill modifies the membership of the Governor's Commission on Addiction, Treatment, and Prevention by increasing the number of public members from seven to nine. Specifically, the bill adds two new members: one with expertise in gaming addiction, appointed by the governor, and another member in long-term recovery, also appointed by the governor. Additionally, the bill changes the status of the faith-based community representative from a nonvoting to a voting member of the commission. The composition of professional members remains the same, with appointments split between the governor, senate president, and speaker of the house, representing prevention, treatment, and public perspectives in the alcohol and drug misuse field. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, aiming to broaden the commission's expertise and representation in addressing addiction-related issues.
