                                    S. 2680
                      Opioid  Crisis Response   Act of 2018

     As reported by the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions
                                  on May 7, 2018


SUMMARY

S. 2680 would authorize appropriations totaling an estimated $7.9 billion, for the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA),  Office of the Secretary of the Department of Health and
Human  Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families, and other agencies
within HHS for programs to address the opioid epidemic in the United States. The bill
also would make related changes to those agencies' programs.

In addition, S. 2680 contains provisions that would:

   *  Authorize appropriations totaling $500 million over the 2019-2023 period for the
      Department of Labor to establish a grant program to alleviate the economic and
      workforce effects of opioid abuse,

   *  Authorize appropriations totaling $1.5 billion over the 2019-2021 period for grants
      to states and Indian tribes to respond to the opioid abuse crisis, and

   *  Direct the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to modify and strengthen its
      oversight of opioids and other controlled substances and medications that are used
      to manage pain.

CBO  estimates that implementing the legislation would cost $7.1 billion over the 2019-
2023 period, assuming the appropriation of authorized and necessary amounts.

Enacting S. 2680 would not affect direct spending, but CBO estimates that it would affect
revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. However, CBO projects that any
effect on revenues over the 2019-2028 period would total less than $500,000.
