SR 342 is a resolution creating a Senate Study Committee focused on Certified Peer Specialists, addiction recovery programs, and protocols in Georgia. The committee, composed of six Senate members appointed by the Senate President, will study the impact of the addiction epidemic - including overdose deaths, economic costs, and community effects - and identify ways to improve recovery support systems. It will recommend actions to enhance collaboration among healthcare providers, law enforcement, education leaders, and community stakeholders. The committee will operate until December 1, 2025, and its recommendations may inform future legislation but do not enact immediate policy changes.
