Sponsored By: Representative Houchin, Erin [R-IN-9]

Introduced

Summary

Expanded state reporting on medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is the bill's core aim. This bill would amend the Public Health Service Act so State plans for the Substance Use Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Services Block Grants must describe the types of drugs available for MAT in the State's system of care. It would also require states to describe MAT programs or protocols used for diversion and misuse prevention and enforcement. States must report data on any misuse of drugs used for MAT, including cases where MAT drugs are mixed with other prescription medicines. Finally states must describe drug screening protocols used in their systems of care, including any protocols specific to patients who receive MAT.
