Fiscal Detail and Notes
	The amendment removes the requirement for an increase in the rate for outpatient opioid treatment, instead allowing the Department of Health and Human Services to change the rate if they determine it is justified. The amendment also removes the requirement for a 3rd party consultant to conduct a rate study. These were the two requirements in the bill that necessitated funding, so the appropriation and allocation section is removed from this bill.
