Establishes "Substance Use Disorder and Addiction Treatment Best Practices Task Force."

This bill establishes the "Substance Use Disorder and Addiction Treatment Best Practices Task Force" within New Jersey's Department of Health. The task force, composed of 12 members including legislative leaders, health officials, and public representatives (like treatment center managers and peer recovery specialists), will study the state's fragmented addiction treatment system. Its key duties include determining whether a single oversight body should replace current fragmented agencies, developing best practices for treatment centers and sober homes, and recommending regulations for dual ownership of such facilities. The task force must report its findings and recommendations to the Governor and Legislature within two years of forming, after which it will expire. This directly affects state agencies, addiction treatment providers, and individuals seeking substance use disorder services.
