On the recordSeptember 28, 2018
As a police officer and a street cop in L.A., I have seen the problems that the opioid epidemic has done to our communities. It has literally destroyed families and hurt our communities to no end. H.R. 6 is a much-needed display of bipartisanship to address the ongoing opioid crisis and epidemic. Many of the issues that have come out of this bill spur development of national best practices for substance abuse recovery housing and incorporates my bill, the Eliminating Kickbacks in Recovery Act, to establish meaningful penalties for profiteering off other people's pain and addiction through illicit referrals.
