AB 2614: Public health: Body Brokering and Patient Referral Integrity Act.

This bill aims to prevent unfair practices in the treatment industry by prohibiting the exchange of commissions or benefits for patient referrals to residential treatment facilities. A violation of this provision would be considered a misdemeanor. The bill defines a residential treatment facility as any facility providing housing or services in connection with alcohol or substance use disorder treatment or behavioral health recovery. The goal is to protect individuals seeking treatment and ensure that facilities are not incentivized to prioritize profits over patient well-being.
