Appropriations, supplemental appropriations from the Opioid Treatment and Abatement Fund for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023

HB 479 directs $2 million from the Opioid Treatment and Abatement Fund to specific programs for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023. The bill allocates $1 million to support specialty courts and another $1 million to Auburn University College of Pharmacy for substance abuse education and training. This legislation affects the state's budget by designating existing opioid relief funds for these two targeted initiatives. The changes are implemented through amendments to the appropriations text within the Ways and Means General Fund.
