Federal Court Decision Striking Down Certificate of Need Moratorium.

Summary

The bill sets July 1 2026 as the date the state’s moratorium on licensing new opioid treatment programs that lack a certificate of need will end. It allows any new provider to apply for a license after that date, removing the previous blanket prohibition.
