SB 275 (2022)
Revise Opioid Abatement Trust Fund and Commission
This bill became law.
Provides that disbursement from the Opioid Abatement Trust Fund shall be based on the most recent decennial census, rather than the 2010 census.
This bill also adds two new duties to the commission: "Support evidence-based prevention programs and services, including efforts to promote healthy, drug-free lifestyles, reduce isolation, build skills and confidence, and facilitate community-based prevention efforts," and, "Support for public school programs and services for students with OUD and any co-occurring SUD/MH issues or who have been affected by OUD and any co-occurring SUD/MH issues within their family."
The Senate amended the bill to add a representative of the New Hampshire School Administrators Association to the Opioid Abatement Advisory Commission.
Lastly, this bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services to include available measures of success and corresponding data of programs funded in their annual report for the Opioid Abatement Trust Fund.
