Summary

Applicants must also submit to the department information on programs operated in other states and any regulatory action taken by another state against the applicant. The department must facilitate posting on a public website licensee locations, hours, and contact information. The department must report in writing to the general assembly by January 1, 2019, the program name, location, license type, license status, license expiration date, and contact information of all licensees. These requirements are repealed on September 1, 2019, to coincide with the scheduled sunset of the act.

Plain-language change summary

The updated version of Bill 17-082 clarifies the definition of methadone treatment facilities and shifts regulatory authority away from the relevant state department. This change matters because it could potentially streamline the oversight of these facilities, making it easier for them to operate while also aiming to improve access to treatment for individuals struggling with addiction.
