Description

Substance Abuse Recovery Support Services Grant Program established.  Establishes the Substance Abuse Recovery Support Services Grant Program to provide grants to recovery support services providers in the Commonwealth. The bill requires the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services to annually issue a request for proposals for grants to providers of recovery support services in the Commonwealth and to convene a work group of stakeholders, including providers of recovery support services, to develop the request for proposals and to evaluate applications and determine awards of grants and the amount of such awards.

The bill also requires the Auditor of Public Accounts to administer an operational and programmatic performance audit focusing on the agencies providing public substance abuse prevention and treatment services in the Commonwealth for the purpose of providing a cost savings assessment of public substance abuse services in the Commonwealth and providing information to the Governor and the General Assembly related to opportunities to improve the efficiency and effectiveness and implement cost savings measures in the delivery of public substance abuse prevention and treatment services in the Commonwealth, with a focus on potential improvements resulting from inclusion of private and nonprofit providers of recovery support and peer support services. Any monetary savings realized from the implementation of recommendations of the performance audit shall be applied to the Substance Abuse Recovery Support Services Grant Program. Read the Bill »
