Why 3/5: This bill removes a state mandate for a program directly relevant to substance use treatment in jails.
The Department of Criminal Justice Services will no longer be required to develop a model addiction recovery program for local and regional jails. This change means jails will not have a state-developed framework to guide their addiction treatment efforts, potentially impacting the quality or availability of such programs.
