Bill > S2244

This bill, the Modernizing Eligible Treatment centers for Healing Addiction Act of 2019 or the METH Addiction Act, amends the Controlled Substances Act to allow community addiction treatment facilities and community mental health facilities to register with the Drug Enforcement Administration to administer controlled substances via telemedicine. The bill defines "community addiction treatment facility" and "community mental health facility" and outlines the registration process, including criteria the Attorney General must consider when determining whether to grant or deny an application. The bill also requires the Attorney General to notify Congress of the Department of Justice's plan to implement the amendments within 180 days of the bill's enactment, with the amendments taking effect 180 days after that notification.
