This bill
establishes the Substance Use Disorders Cabinet. State participation in
cabinet activities includes the Department of Health and Human Services, the
Department of Corrections, the Department of Education, the Department of
Labor, the Department of Public Safety and the Judicial Branch. It is
expected that some duties required in the bill, such as organizing and
combining resources, improving access to appropriate services, coordinating
services and facilitating services will require additional funding. The bill
requires funds be pooled from each department represented in the cabinet and
requires that duties be carried out within existing budgeted resources. The
cabinet is authorized to solicit and receive funds from various sources.
Because no funding was provided in the bill, the impact on other programs and
services cannot be determined. |
