The California State Assembly has recently passed several significant bills aimed at advancing technology and addressing opioid addiction. Assembly Bill 2980, introduced by Evan Low, aims to create an effective system for counties to implement blockchain technology, showcasing California's commitment to technological advancement. Additionally, Matt Haney's legislation, including AB 2478 and AB 2479, focuses on transforming California's approach to opioid addiction treatment. AB 2478 allows for state funding for drug-free recovery housing, while AB 2479, which passed with 71 bipartisan votes, aims to create sober, drug-free recovery housing across the state. AB 2479 also addresses the state's restrictive methadone laws. Both bills now move to the State Senate for further consideration.
My legislation AB2478 to allow for state funding for drug free recovery housing passed off the Assembly floor with all YES votes. AB 2479 aligns California housing policy with federal guidelines by recognizing that drug free housing is consistent with Housing First policy.… https://t.co/CQGdnQsjxz
This is the best news I've heard today! California should provide drug free housing options. If you want to reduce overdose deaths inside, you break the cycle of relapse. Thank you @BayAreaCouncil and @MattHaneySF for believing in recovery. Onward to the State Senate! https://t.co/eNvSNqTYU3
A huge win for @MattHaneySF's AB 2479, which will create sober, drug free recovery housing across CA. It passed the Assembly with 71 bipartisan votes and now goes to the State Senate. @Twolfrecovery @lwoodhouse @JacquiBerlinn
