Existing law establishes the California Health and Human Services Agency, under the direction of the Secretary of California Health and Human Services, which includes, among other departments, the State Department of Public Health and the State Department of Health Care Services. Existing law provides for various programs to reduce the use of, and harm caused by, controlled substances, including opioids. Existing law requires the agency to establish a grant program to reduce fentanyl overdoses and use throughout the state by giving out 6 one-time grants to increase local efforts in education, testing, recovery, and support services, as specified.
This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that provision.
