The sponsor's argument

Why Jamaal Bailey says this is needed

Chapter 432 of the laws of 2021 required all New York State prisons and local jails to provide those who are incarcerated and struggling with a substance use disorder access to medication assisted treatment (MAT). MAT is an evidence-based treatment approach that utilizes medications that block cravings and reduce withdrawal symptoms with counseling and behavioral therapy. Since taking effect in October 2022, there has been inconsistent reporting by state prisons and local jails, raising ques- tions about how participation in the program varies by facility and the processes that may be used to determine a person's eligibility and moni- tor their progress. This legislation amends the existing law's reporting requirements to streamline the process and requires that annual reports include demo- graphic information such as the race, ethnicity, gender and age of program participants. Under this legislation, the reports must also Include much more information on the details of the MAT program. With comprehensive reporting, we can evaluate this program and make changes as needed. New York State remains the largest state in the nation to offer MAT at every correctional facility and it is important that indi- viduals in need of treatment have the same access to care at every correctional facility.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
