Purpose of the Bill

The bill aims to change the membership of the opioids, substance use, and addiction subcabinet in the state of Minnesota. This adjustment seeks to enhance the coordination and management of programs related to addiction and substance use.

Main Provisions

  • Expanded Membership: The bill proposes adding several key state officials to the subcabinet focused on addressing issues related to opioid addiction, substance use, and addiction management.
  • The subcabinet will now include:
    • Commissioners from various departments including Human Services, Health, Education, Public Safety, Corrections, Management and Budget, Higher Education, Children, Youth and Families, Commerce.
