Substance abuse and mental health-accreditation amendments.
SF 21 removes requirements for mental health and substance abuse service providers to hold specific accreditations (such as those from the Joint Commission or Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) to receive state funding. It directly affects providers offering these services under Wyoming's Court Supervised Treatment Programs Act and mental health funding rules. The bill amends two statutes to explicitly state that such accreditations are not needed for reimbursement eligibility. This change simplifies funding access for providers while preserving existing contracts and taking effect July 1, 2022.
