Existing law creates the Statewide Substance Use Response Working Group in the Office of the Attorney General to leverage and expand efforts by state and local governmental entities to reduce the use of substances which are associated with substance use disorders. Existing law further: (1) provides that the membership of the Working Group consists of 18 members, 12 of whom are appointed by the Attorney General; and (2) requires the Working Group to submit to the Governor, the Attorney General and the Legislature on or before January 31 of each year a report which includes recommendations for programs to address substance misuse and substance use disorders. (NRS 458.460, 458.480) Section 1 of this bill provides that, for purposes of membership of the Working Group, the designee of the Director of the Department of Health and Human Services must be a person from within the Division of Public and Behavioral Health of the Department.
