The bill titled "An Act relative to fetal opioid drug exposure" seeks to amend the definition of Closely Related Developmental Conditions within the Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services. Specifically, it mandates that fetal opioid drug exposure and addiction be included in this definition, thereby recognizing the impact of opioid exposure on fetal development. This change aims to ensure that individuals affected by such conditions receive appropriate support and services.

Additionally, the bill grants the commissioner of the department the discretion to include further diagnoses under the definition of closely related developmental conditions. This flexibility allows for the adaptation of the definition to encompass emerging understanding and research regarding developmental conditions related to opioid exposure. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the support framework for individuals affected by fetal opioid exposure in Massachusetts.
