Tenney\u2019s bipartisan opioid bill passes unanimously out of House Ways and Means Committee<\/strong><\/p>\n

Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-22) announced May 16 that her bipartisan\u00a0<\/strong>bill,\u00a0H.R. 5723<\/a>, the Expanding Oversight of Opioid Prescribing and Payment Act of 2018, passed unanimously out of the House Ways and Means Committee and is awaiting consideration by the full House.<\/p>\n

Tenney is one of only two freshman members sponsoring a bill in the comprehensive Ways and Means Committee opioid package.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, we are one step closer to providing our communities and families with the tools necessary to combat the opioid epidemic,” Tenney said. “I\u2019d like to thank Chairman Brady for including the Expanding Oversight of Opioid Prescribing and Payment Act, legislation that I introduced, in today\u2019s Ways and Means Committee mark-up. The bill I\u2019ve introduced will find ways to roll back barriers that have inhibited the use of non-opioid alternatives to treat pain. It\u2019s imperative that we identify current practices preventing the use of non-opioid treatments for pain management and determine incentives that have unintentionally led to the over-prescription of opioids.<\/strong>\u00a0With 115 deaths from opioid overdoses each day, we know that addiction knows no boundaries. As a member of the Bipartisan Heroin Task Force, I am committed to finding a comprehensive and compassionate solution to reverse the epidemic and empower all who suffer from addiction.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
