MI SB0994

Creates the opioid advisory commission within the legislative council with 12 voting members appointed by legislative leadership (4 each by senate majority leader and house speaker, 1 each by minority leaders, and 2 jointly selected from lists provided by governor and attorney general).

Requires commission members to have experience in substance abuse prevention, health care, mental health, law enforcement, local government, or first responder work, with terms of 3 years staggered initially as 1, 2, and 3 years.

Mandates the commission to review local, state, and federal initiatives addressing substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions, and establish priorities for funding recommendations to the legislature.

Requires the commission to submit an annual written report by March 30 to the governor, attorney general, and legislative leaders that includes evidence-based needs assessments, goals and recommendations for prevention and treatment, evaluation of prior opioid fund spending, and proposed funding initiatives.

Takes effect immediately only if Senate Bill No. 993 of the 101st Legislature is also enacted into law.
