The sponsor's argument

Why Nathalia Fernandez says this is needed

This bill will redirect the opioid excise tax monies to the New York state drug treatment and public education fund to better New York State's preventative addiction efforts. Current law does not specify where the opioid excise tax funds shall be deposited. This bill brings the opioid excise tax in line with the cannabis excise tax by directing funds to the New York state drug treatment and public education fund. To better New York's preventative substance use disorder efforts-and create parity between the two excise taxes-money generated from the opioid excise tax should be designated to the drug treatment and public educa- tion fund.

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.
