House Bill 1756, also known as Senate Bill 1803, mandates the commissioner of commerce and insurance to conduct a study on recent innovations in health insurance coverage and reimbursement methods related to substance use disorder in neighboring states. The findings from this study are to be compiled into a report that includes any legislative recommendations derived from the study. This report must be transmitted to the chief clerks of both the Senate and the House of Representatives, as well as the legislative librarian, by December 31, 2026. The report may be published and transmitted electronically.

The bill emphasizes the importance of addressing substance use disorder through improved health insurance strategies and aims to leverage successful models from other states. It is designed to enhance the state's approach to this critical public health issue, with the expectation that the findings will inform future legislative actions. The act will take effect upon becoming law, prioritizing public welfare.
