LB255

Nebraska LB255 would allow the Opioid Treatment Infrastructure Cash Fund to support problem solving courts.

Nebraska LB255 amends sections 24-1302 and 71-2492 to redefine the use of the Opioid Treatment Infrastructure Cash Fund. The fund, previously used for opioid use prevention and treatment infrastructure projects, would now also support problem solving courts. These courts include drug, veterans, mental health, driving under the influence, reentry, and young adult courts. The bill repeals the original sections and states the intent to appropriate funds for medication-assisted treatment in these courts.
