Relating to the allocation of money by the Texas opioid abatement fund council.
HB 1850 directs the Texas Opioid Abatement Fund Council to allocate a portion of its funds to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) for opioid addiction treatment programs specifically for incarcerated individuals with a history of opioid addiction. The bill amends the Government Code to require this funding allocation, ensuring resources are dedicated to prison-based treatment services. It applies only to fund allocations made on or after its effective date of September 1, 2025. This is a procedural change to existing fund distribution, not new funding, and directly affects TDCJ programming and eligible prisoners.
