Sir:
Your Committee on Health, to which was referred S.B. No. 1036, S.D. 2, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO SUBSTANCE ABUSE TREATMENT,"
begs leave to report as follows:
Your Committee has amended this measure by:
(1) Establishing a working group, rather than a task force;
(2) Amending the focus of the measure to address publicly-funded substance abuse treatment services;
(3) Making the appropriation for convening the working group applicable to Fiscal Year 2015-2016;
(4) Changing its effective date to July 1, 2112, to facilitate further discussion; and
(5) Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
Your Committee notes the testimony of the Department of Health that it will cost $17,000 to convene the working group, including travel and other expenses related to the duties of the working group.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Health that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 1036, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 1036, S.D. 2, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Health,
