Substance Use-Disorder Prevention That Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment for Patients and Communities Act
Floor Speech
Issues: Drugs
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Mr. WALBERG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of this bipartisan package to address the opioid crisis devastating our communities.
This legislation includes two provisions authored by myself and my good friend from Michigan, Congresswoman Debbie Dingell.
One will help safely dispose of unused drugs and prevent their diversion into the community. The other, Jessie's Law, honors the memory of Jessie Grubb and will help prevent future overdose tragedies under medical care.
Mr. Speaker, this critical legislation will help save and rebuild lives. I urge its passage today, and I look forward to its quickly advancing to the President's desk.
