Louisiana SB26 repeals facility need review requirements for opioid treatment programs.

Louisiana SB26 repeals existing law that required the Louisiana Department of Health to conduct a facility need review to determine the necessity for new or additional opioid treatment programs. The bill removes the requirement for the department to assess geographic need before licensing such programs. This change eliminates the criteria and processes previously established by the department for evaluating the need for opioid treatment programs in specific locations.
