Summary

The bill prohibits treatment facilities, labs and certified programs from giving money, gift cards or other value to influence a person’s enrollment, stay, transfer or referral. It also requires any housing discounts or transportation help to be offered without tying them to program participation, to be documented, published online annually, and kept for five years. The goal is to stop “patient brokering” and ensure assistance is truly needed, not a recruitment tool.
