An act relating to fiscal year 2026 appropriations from the Opioid Abatement Special Fund

This bill appropriates $10.1 million from Vermont's Opioid Abatement Special Fund for fiscal year 2026 to support opioid use disorder services. It allocates funds for 26 new outreach staff, Burlington's overdose prevention center, certified recovery residences, syringe services, youth programs, harm reduction at shelters, and training for judges and correctional staff. The funding directly supports individuals with opioid use disorder, homeless populations, youth, and community organizations across Vermont. All allocations require outcome reporting, with annual funding intended unless the Special Fund lacks sufficient funds.
