| October 2, 2018 House Passes Final Opioid Bill The House passed HR 6, the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act, 393-8 last week before recessing until after the mid-term elections. After negotiating with the Senate, the final version of HR 6 includes Section 3201 which amends the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 823 (g)(2)(G)) to permanently authorize Nurse Practitioners and provide a five-year authorization for Clinical Nurse Specialists, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, and Certified Nurse-Midwives to prescribe Medication-Assisted Treatments (MATs) for opioid use disorders. The Senate is expected to approve the bill soon before sending it to President Trump's desk.  |
