Substance Use Rehabilitation Amendments

Summary

The bill lets the Department of Health and Human Services, in partnership with the Department of Workforce Services, create a certification program for employers that demonstrate policies supporting employees with substance‑use disorders. Employers can apply for certification by meeting criteria such as offering education, reducing stigma, providing opiate antagonists, and supporting treatment access. Funding for the program may be drawn from the state’s Electronic Cigarette Substance and Nicotine Product Proceeds Restricted Account, pending legislative appropriation.
