BILL NUMBER: S7378

SPONSOR: HARCKHAM
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the tax law, in relation to requiring the department of
health to publish certain reports on department's website detailing
sales of opioids sold in the state

 
PURPOSE:

Requires the department of health to publish certain reports on the
department's website detailing sales of opioids sold in the state

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 amends subdivision (G) of section 498 of the tax law to
require that the department of health publish their annual report
detailing all opioids sold by such registrants in the state of New York.
Such report shall be made available to the public in machine-readable
formats and such report shall be made publicly available on the depart-

ment of health's website.

Section 2 requires the department of health to comply and publish on
their website all reports submitted to the department detailing all
opioids sold by a registrant in the state of New York pursuant to subdi-
vision (G) of section 498 of the tax law. This includes the initial
report with transaction information from July 1, 2019 through December
31, 2019, and each annual report thereafter.

JUSTIFICATION:

The 2019 New York State enacted budget established an "Opioid Steward-
ship Fund" to combat the opioid overdose crisis. Financed by an assess-
ment on opioid products sold or distributed in New York, the annual $100
million dollar stewardship payments were formulated to place the finan-
cial burden of the opioid crisis upon the companies that are making
billions in profits. The program's funding was directed to be used for
support programs operated by the Office of Addiction Services and
Supports (OASAS). Such programs include opioid treatment, recovery,
prevention, education, and the I-STOP program, pursuant to the approval
of the NYS Budget Director. Included in the creation of the Opioid
Stewardship Fund was the requirement for the Department of Health (DOH)
to annually gather reports detailing all opioids sold by registrants
authorized in the state. To date, this information has not been accessi-
ble.

This legislation provides transparency to the public regarding the
Opioid Stewardship fund by requiring DOH to make the information
collected in such reports to be publicly available on the department's
website.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
