References already in place must be updated within one year
What the document says“Not later than one year after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall update all references described in paragraph (2) to be inclusive of any opioid overdose reversal drug that has been approved or otherwise authorized for use by the Food and Drug Administration.”
The section requires the Secretary to update, within one year of enactment, references to an overdose reversal drug in regulations and guidance issued before enactment under the State and Tribal Opioid Response grant program and under the grant program for priority substance use disorder prevention needs of regional and national significance.
What the document actually says“Not later than one year after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall update all references described in paragraph (2) to be inclusive of any opioid overdose reversal drug that has been approved or otherwise authorized for use by the Food and Drug Administration.”
Papers written before this law must be fixed. The fix is due within one year. The words must cover any approved reversal drug.
This reaches two named grant programs. One sends money to States and Tribes. The other funds prevention work of national reach.
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.
