This bill redirects all revenue from New York's opioid excise tax - including taxes, interest, and penalties - to the New York State Drug Treatment and Public Education Fund. It requires that 100% of collected tax (after reserving funds for potential refunds) be paid to this specific fund, as defined in state finance law. The fund supports drug treatment programs and public education initiatives related to substance abuse.
