BILL NUMBER: S9836

SPONSOR: JACKSON
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the state finance law, in relation to requiring a quar-
terly report on the opioid stewardship fund

 
PURPOSE:

To ensure that Opioid Stewardship Funds are being utilized in an expedi-
ent manner to combat the substance use disorder crisis.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1. Section 97-aaaaa of the state finance law is amended by
adding a new subdivision 8 to read as follows:

8. The relevant commissioners shall submit a quarterly report to the
temporary president of the senate, the speaker of the assembly, and the
chairs of the senate and assembly committees on alcoholism and drug
abuse, that shall include, but not be limited to, the amount of the

funds currently held in the opioid stewardship fund, the amounts
disbursed that quarter, the names, addresses, and amounts awarded to the
recipients, and the names, addresses, and the amounts received by the
recipients, for such quarter. Such quarterly report shall be compiled
with previously submitted quarterly reports.

§ 2. Effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

There is currently no accounting or transparency as to how the opioid
stewardship fund revenue stream is spent. This legislation provides for
a basic financial report of funds disbursed in each quarter, including
the names of the recipients, amounts awarded, and the date the funds are
received by the recipients.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately; provided, however, that the
amendments to section 97-aaaaa of the state finance law made by section
one of this act shall not affect the repeal of such section and shall be
deemed repealed therewith.
