Shifts $45 million appropriation for opioid related care and treatment provided at certain hospitals from Opioid Recovery and Remediation Fund to General Fund.*

This bill reassigns $45 million in state funding from the Opioid Recovery and Remediation Fund to the General Fund for opioid-related care and treatment at certain hospitals. The funds must be used by the Department of Human Services to implement the Opioid Recovery and Remediation Advisory Council's strategic plan, which was issued in June 2025. It directly affects hospitals providing opioid treatment services by ensuring funding aligns with the council's recommendations for statewide opioid care. The change clarifies the budget source while maintaining that the money will support the council's established plan through 2030.
