Revise labor laws relating to the medical assistance program

This bill revises Montana's medical assistance program for licensed professionals to provide support for those struggling with substance abuse, mental illness, or chronic physical illness. It requires licensing boards to establish assistance programs that help affected licensees access treatment and monitor their rehabilitation efforts, while prioritizing in-state treatment options when available. The legislation also adjusts renewal fees to fund these programs and adds specific provisions for disciplining licensees who repeatedly return to substance use after entering the assistance program. Additionally, the bill strengthens confidentiality protections for program records and clarifies the duties of state licensing boards regarding standards, examinations, and program expansions.
