Requires certain providers of substance or alcohol use disorder treatment, services, or supports to be assessed for conflicts of interest prior to receiving State funds, licensure, or certification.
This bill requires state agencies that fund or license substance and alcohol use disorder treatment providers to assess them for potential conflicts of interest before approving funding or certification. The assessment process involves reviewing financial statements, board member information, ownership details, and staff outside employment to identify any circumstances that could compromise a provider's judgment. If a conflict is found, the provider must remedy it in writing before receiving funds or licensure, with the reviewing entity holding applications until the issue is resolved. The law applies to all state and local entities that distribute funds or grant certifications to treatment providers and includes a 365-day limit on how often these assessments must be repeated.
