AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes federal registration rules for opioid treatment programs that dispense narcotic drugs for maintenance or detoxification treatment. To register, a program could not be located within one-half mile of a day care center, school, learning center, playground, or another drug treatment facility, and it would have to justify patient need in the community. Programs would have to promote telehealth, name a community liaison, form a community advisory board, carry out community outreach, and write neighborhood engagement and community relations plans. Programs would also report treatment data to the Secretary, and the Secretary would send Congress a yearly report on community engagement.
