Two examples are added to the center's capacity building work
The document says “is amended”Who acts: CongressHow: statuteSec. 302 in the PDF
What the document says
“making recovery support services available in nonclinical settings”
The section amends section 547A(b)(4) of the Public Health Service Act, adding two examples of capacity building: professional development of peer support specialists, and making recovery support services available in settings outside a clinic.
What the document actually says
“making recovery support services available in nonclinical settings”
That sentence, in plain words
One example added is help offered outside a clinic. The other is training for peer support workers.
What this is about
A peer support worker has been through addiction. That worker helps others get well. A nonclinical setting is any place that is not a clinic.
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, and we check 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.
