Utah's Department of Health and Human Services would be authorized, working with the Department of Workforce Services, to create a voluntary "recovery ready workplace" certification program for employers, with funding for the program potentially coming from the state's existing Electronic Cigarette Substance and Nicotine Product Proceeds Restricted Account if the Legislature chooses to appropriate it there. If the department sets up the program, it would have to establish an application process, and certification criteria could require employers to reduce workplace conditions that contribute to substance use disorders, educate employees and supervisors about addiction, keep opioid overdose-reversal medication on site, provide resources on substance use disorder, and adopt policies supporting employees who seek treatment. The department would also gain authority to write administrative rules to carry out the program.
