renewing the committee to study non-pharmacological treatment options for patients with chronic pain.

This bill reestablishes a committee to study non-drug treatment options for patients suffering from chronic pain. The committee will be composed of seven state legislators and tasked with designing a pilot program that encourages patient-centered care while keeping costs low and using existing medical networks. Its specific duties include researching payment models for state health programs, investigating funding opportunities, and creating educational resources for doctors to better integrate these treatments. The group must submit an interim report by November 2024 and a final report by November 2025, which may include recommendations for new laws based on their findings.
