Committee reports bill updating reporting requirements for Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs
Summary
House Bill 640, which would update annual reporting requirements to the General Assembly for the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, was reported from the Human Services Committee with no negative votes.
House Bill 640, introduced to amend the Administrative Code of 1929, would update the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs’ annual reporting requirements to the General Assembly. Committee staff provided the bill explanation during the meeting.
Sponsor remarks and committee members emphasized the value of transparency for treatment and recovery initiatives. Representative Heffley said the bill would provide greater transparency of the department’s efforts and expressed his support. "I fully support it," Heffley said.
Committee members said expanded reports would help the legislature track emerging drug threats and better support the department’s work in treatment and recovery. With no negative votes recorded, the committee reported House Bill 640 out of committee for further legislative consideration.
The bill does not include specific new funding levels in the committee discussion; it focuses on reporting content and frequency. The Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs would be the implementing agency if the bill becomes law.
