On the recordJuly 26, 2017
I intend to offer the following motion to H.R. 1628, and I ask unanimous consent that it be printed in the Record. The motion is supported by Senators Manchin, Whitehouse, Brown, Blumenthal, Warren, King, Nelson, Warner, and Van Hollen. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: Motion to Commit With Instructions Mr. Markey moves to commit the bill H.R. 1628 to the Committee on Finance with instructions to report the same back to the Senate in 3 days, not counting any day on which the Senate is not in session, with changes that-- (1) are within the jurisdiction of such committee; and (2) ensure that nothing in the bill would increase out-of- pocket costs or reduce access to treatment, including medication-assisted treatment for Americans suffering from substance use disorders, including those with an opioid use disorder.
