Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Program.

SB 460 creates a statewide Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) Program within North Carolina's Department of Health and Human Services, directly affecting individuals diagnosed with FASD, their families, and healthcare/education providers. The program requires the department to establish a coordinator, develop screening and evidence-based interventions, and serve as a central resource for FASD support and education. It also mandates a 17-member advisory committee - comprising agency representatives, affected individuals/families, and professionals - to guide prevention efforts and coordinate existing services. The bill appropriates $2 million in recurring funds for 2025-2027 to cover program operations and committee expenses, effective July 1, 2025.
