Last month, the House Energy and Commerce Committee (E&C) advanced eleven opioid-related pieces of legislation. While the House version of the Senate-passed Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of 2016 (CARA) has yet to be marked up by the House Judiciary Committee, E&C advanced a bill which included language from CARA and in total five of the bills advanced out of committee have Senate counterparts. The House is scheduled to vote on all the legislation listed below this week, including the measures advanced by the House Judiciary Committee.

Whether the Senate takes up that legislation during the next work period remains to be seen, especially considering the rare inter-party pressure Senate members are putting on the House GOP to take up CARA.
