Bill > HB4227

This bill authorizes the Office of Inspector General (OIG), a state agency responsible for overseeing government programs and preventing waste and fraud, to officially adopt and implement a legislative rule concerning the licensing of syringe services programs. Syringe services programs are community-based health initiatives that provide sterile syringes and other harm reduction services to people who inject drugs, aiming to reduce the spread of infectious diseases like HIV and Hepatitis C. The bill specifically allows the OIG to proceed with a rule that was previously filed and modified to address concerns raised by the Legislative Rule-Making Review Committee, ensuring that the program licensure process is properly established and legally recognized.
