We are seeking a Legislative Attorney with a background in public health and significant knowledge about patient confidentiality, HIPAA, and 42 CFR Part 2 to work with our team of attorneys to draft model legislation, perform research and comparative analyses of state laws and regulations with respect to substance use disorders at the intersection of public safety and public health, and keep abreast of emerging and pertinent legal and legislative issues in the area of substance use disorders and public safety.
