Bill > HB3361

This bill modifies provisions related to substance abuse prevention and treatment by expanding the membership of the Task Force on Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment to include an additional member appointed by the governor, who will have personal experience with substance abuse, and by adding new responsibilities for the task force, such as making recommendations on fentanyl education in schools, creating models for sober-living homes, developing treatment center curricula, establishing guidelines for peer specialist qualifications, and appointing members to a new oversight board. The bill also establishes the Volunteer Civilian Oversight Board for State-Funded Substance Abuse Treatment Facilities, which will consist of twelve volunteer members appointed by the task force, and this board will be responsible for conducting unannounced inspections of state-funded treatment facilities, monitoring their operations, interviewing residents and staff, and reporting findings to the task force, with the goal of ensuring compliance with laws and regulations and promoting transparency in the allocation and expenditure of opioid settlement funds.
