Bill Summary
A BILL To ensure references to opioid overdose reversal agents in grant programs of the Department of Health and Human Services are not limited to naloxone.
AI Summary
This bill, the Halting the Epidemic of Addiction and Loss Act of 2023 (HEAL Act of 2023), aims to ensure that references to opioid overdose reversal agents, such as naloxone, in grant programs administered by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) are not limited to a specific agent. The bill requires the HHS Secretary to update all existing references to opioid overdose reversal agents in regulations, guidance, or other documents related to the State Opioid Response Grants and the grant program for priority substance use disorder prevention needs of regional and national significance. This change would make these references inclusive of any opioid overdose reversal agent approved or authorized for use by the Food and Drug Administration.
