The document says “is amended”Who acts: CongressHow: statuteSec. 106 in the PDF
What the document says
“by striking ``opioid'' each place it appears”
The section strikes the word opioid where it appears in subsections (a), (c) and (d) of section 546 of the Public Health Service Act, and makes matching changes in subsection (f), where the phrase opioid and heroin becomes opioid, heroin, and other drug and opioid overdose becomes overdose.
What the document actually says
“by striking ``opioid'' each place it appears”
That sentence, in plain words
The word opioid is taken out everywhere it shows up. Nothing goes in its place.
What this is about
Taking out that one word widens what the training covers. It is no longer only about one kind of drug.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
