Bill > AB2538

This bill amends existing law to update the gambling disorder prevention and treatment program administered by the Office of Problem Gambling within the State Department of Public Health. Specifically, it replaces the authorization for telephone counseling treatment services with telehealth counseling, allowing for remote counseling sessions. Additionally, the bill expands the entities to whom the office must provide program information upon request, now including county health officers in addition to the Governor and the Legislature. The overall goal is to enhance the accessibility and delivery of services for individuals struggling with gambling disorders.
