Bill Analysis
The DETERRENT Act (HR 1048) aims to enhance the federal government’s capacity to combat the opioid crisis by establishing a comprehensive framework for prevention, treatment, and recovery support services. The bill emphasizes a multi-faceted approach to opioid misuse, focusing on education, research, and the expansion of treatment options.
Key provisions of the DETERRENT Act include the establishment of a new grant program administered by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to support state and local initiatives aimed at reducing opioid misuse. This program would provide funding for evidence-based prevention strategies, including public awareness campaigns and educational programs targeting at-risk populations. Additionally, the bill allocates resources for expanding access to medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and recovery services, particularly in underserved areas.
The legislation authorizes the allocation of federal funds to support the training of healthcare providers in best practices for opioid prescribing and pain management, thereby aiming to reduce the incidence of opioid prescriptions and subsequent misuse. It also seeks to enhance data collection and research on opioid use, enabling policymakers to make informed decisions based on current trends and outcomes.
Beneficiaries of the DETERRENT Act include individuals struggling with opioid use disorder, healthcare providers, and communities disproportionately affected by the opioid epidemic. The bill also aims to regulate the practices of healthcare providers to promote responsible prescribing habits.
The DETERRENT Act was introduced in the House of Representatives and has since been received in the Senate, where it has been read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions for further consideration. The timeline for further action remains uncertain, pending committee review and potential amendments.
