Revises law concerning substance use disorder treatment facility patient referrals.

This bill increases penalties for payments tied to referring patients to substance use disorder treatment facilities. It upgrades violations from a fourth-degree to a third-degree crime, imposing a mandatory $50,000 fine for payments based on patient volume, treatment duration, or service type. The law explicitly covers healthcare providers, facilities, nonprofits, and recovery residences (sober living homes), while allowing flat fees not linked to specific patient or service metrics. It aims to prevent financial incentives that could influence referrals, directly affecting entities coordinating patient access to treatment.
