New Jersey S3220 creates a tax on opioid drugs to fund opioid prevention and rehabilitation programs.

New Jersey S3220 imposes a tax on the first wholesale distribution of opioid drugs in the state, at a rate of one cent per milligram of active opioid ingredient. The revenue from this tax will support the newly established "Opioid Prevention and Rehabilitation Program Fund." This fund will provide treatment for substance use disorders to individuals who are uninsured, underinsured, or enrolled in the Medicaid program. The tax is governed by the State Uniform Tax Procedure Law and will take effect immediately upon enactment.
