Concerning facilities licensed to provide pediatric transitional care services.

HB 2560 creates a new state-funded model to support residential pediatric recovery centers that provide nonmedical care for infants born with prenatal substance exposure (e.g., to opioids or methamphetamines) and their families. The bill requires the state to seek federal approval for direct payments to these centers by July 2027 and to provide interim grants using opioid settlement funds until then. It aims to replace lengthy hospital stays in neonatal intensive care units with a family-centered approach that promotes bonding and helps keep infants with parents in recovery. The new funding will cover services like caregiver coaching, bonding activities, and transition planning to support safe home reunification.
