AI Summary

This bill aims to improve the prescription monitoring program in Massachusetts. It would allow the state to include information about opioid maintenance treatment in the prescription monitoring program, as long as it does not conflict with privacy rules. Additionally, it would require opioid treatment programs to present a consent form to individuals entering treatment, allowing them to consent to the release of information about their opioid maintenance treatment through the prescription monitoring program. The purpose is to ensure that healthcare providers have access to information about a patient's participation in opioid maintenance treatment before prescribing other opioid substances.
