Establishes Office of Alcohol, Drug, and Tobacco Use Control Policy to reduce incidence of substance use disorder and tobacco use.

New Jersey Assembly Bill A356 establishes the Office of Alcohol, Drug, and Tobacco Use Control Policy within the Department of Health to reduce substance use disorders and tobacco use. The office will develop a statewide strategic plan, monitor youth access to substances, identify evidence-based prevention programs, coordinate school-based education initiatives, and collect data on opioid overdoses and treatment. It will also coordinate media campaigns, improve healthcare communication about opioid risks, and publish evidence-based program resources online. The office will work with state agencies, schools, health providers, and a municipal advisory board to implement these efforts. The bill requires annual reports to the Governor and Legislature on its findings and recommendations.
