An Act relative to modernizing the general laws to promote access to substance use disorder treatment
This bill amends Massachusetts law to expand who can access certain substance use disorder treatment services beyond just blood relatives. It specifically adds parents, as defined by a 2024 act, and other family members recognized by law to the list of eligible individuals. The change ensures that a broader range of family members can utilize these treatment resources without needing to prove a biological connection.
