An Act amending the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.177, No.175), known as The Administrative Code of 1929, in powers and duties of the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, further providing for powers and duties.

Senate Bill 675 amends The Administrative Code of 1929, adding new powers and duties for the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs. This bill requires inpatient treatment facilities to develop a discharge transportation plan for each patient upon admission or within 72 hours. The plan must detail the patient's transportation from the facility to an initial destination after discharge. It must also include the names of authorized individuals or a public/third-party service for pickup and the initial drop-off address. Facilities are prohibited from releasing a patient who does not have such a discharge transportation plan.
