Amends the Unified Code of Corrections. Provides within 24 hours of admission to a correctional institution or facility of the Department of Corrections, each committed person shall be screened for substance use disorders as part of an initial and ongoing substance use screening and assessment process. Provides that this process includes screening and assessment for opioid use disorders. Provides that if at any time a committed person screens positive as having or being at risk for an opioid use disorder, is diagnosed with an opioid use disorder or is exhibiting symptoms of withdrawal from an opioid use disorder, and medication assisted treatment is clinically indicated by a licensed physician, a licensed physician assistant, or a licensed nurse practitioner, then the individual may consent to commence medications for opioid use disorder, which shall be provided by the Department. Provides that the committed person shall be authorized to receive the medication immediately and for as long as clinically indicated. Provides that upon reentry, the Department shall provide an individual participating in medication assisted treatment with a referral to a community-based provider who may assist the individual with continued medications for opioid use disorder and medication assisted treatment care.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Provides that if at any time a committed person screens positive as having or being at risk for an opioid use disorder, is diagnosed with an opioid use disorder or is exhibiting symptoms of withdrawal from an opioid use disorder, and medication for opioid use disorder or medication assisted treatment (rather than just medication assisted treatment) is clinically indicated by a licensed physician, a licensed physician assistant, or a licensed nurse practitioner, then the individual may consent to commence medications for opioid use disorder, which shall be provided by the Department of Corrections.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 3
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. Provides that a committed person who is admitted to a correctional institution or facility while under the medical care of a licensed physician, a licensed physician assistant, or a licensed nurse practitioner and who is taking medication for an opioid use disorder or participating in medication-assisted treatment at the time of admission (deletes pursuant to a valid prescription) as verified by the individual's pharmacy of record, primary care provider, other licensed care provider, or a prescription monitoring or information system, shall have the committed person's medication continued and provided by the Department of Corrections pending an evaluation by a licensed physician, a licensed physician assistant, or a licensed nurse practitioner and subject to the treatment provider's medical judgment. Provides that the Department shall ensure that all persons under its care are assessed for substance use disorder not less than once per calendar year. Provides that no person shall be denied medication for opioid use disorder or participation in medication-assisted treatment based on prior success or failure of any medication-assisted treatment program. Provides that if at any time a committed person screens positive as having or being at risk for an opioid use disorder, is diagnosed with an opioid use disorder, or is exhibiting symptoms of withdrawal from an opioid use disorder, and medications for opioid use disorder or medication-assisted treatment is clinically indicated by a licensed physician, a licensed physician assistant, or a licensed nurse practitioner, then the individual may consent to commence medications for opioid use disorder or, if available, medication-assisted treatment, which shall be provided and funded by the Department with the use of any opioid settlement funds allocated to the Department. Provides that the committed person shall be authorized to receive the medication immediately and for as long as clinically indicated.
