Prince George's County - Substance Abuse Early Intervention and Detoxification Services Fund - Establishment PG 407-25

HB 396 establishes the Substance Abuse Early Intervention and Detoxification Services Fund in Prince George's County to provide treatment for two specific groups: students expelled from local schools due to substance misuse, and uninsured or underinsured minors needing substance abuse treatment. The fund covers up to 90 days of treatment for expelled students and uses remaining funds to pay for treatment costs for uninsured minors. Administered by the Prince George's County Health Department, it receives an annual $2 million state appropriation starting in fiscal year 2027. The bill requires the county to submit annual reports detailing fund usage, beneficiary demographics, and treatment outcomes.
