Bill > S2842

This bill, the Opioid Addiction Recovery Fraud Prevention Act of 2018, aims to prohibit the marketing of fraudulent opioid treatment programs or products. It defines key terms like "opioid treatment product" and "opioid use disorder," and makes it unlawful to make deceptive representations about the cost, efficacy, or safety of such programs or products. The bill grants enforcement authority to the Federal Trade Commission, allowing it to treat violations as unfair or deceptive acts, and also empowers state attorneys general to bring civil actions on behalf of their residents. The legislation seeks to protect consumers from false claims and fraudulent activities related to opioid addiction treatment.
