The bill proposes supplemental appropriations totaling $30,000,000 from the Opioid Treatment and Abatement Fund for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024. The appropriations are allocated to various entities for specific initiatives aimed at addressing substance abuse disorders. Notable allocations include $1,000,000 to the Department of Corrections for medication support in state prisons, $5,490,000 to the Board of Pardons and Paroles for various substance abuse treatment services, and $20,510,000 to the Department of Mental Health for a range of programs including crisis intervention and prevention grants. Additional funds are designated for educational initiatives at Auburn University and the University of Alabama at Birmingham, as well as for the purchase of Naloxone by the Department of Public Health.

The bill also includes a provision that allows any unspent funds from the appropriations to be carried forward for their intended purposes rather than reverting at the end of the fiscal year. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage and approval by the Governor. The legal language inserted into the current law includes the appropriations and the stipulation regarding the carry-forward of unspent funds, while no deletions from current law are specified in the text provided.
