Floor Speech
Issues: Drugs
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Mr. Chair, I thank my colleagues for introducing this critical legislation.
Since this committee began tackling the opioid epidemic, I have said there are three major parts to the crisis: prevention, treatment, and law enforcement. This legislation touches all three prongs of the opioid crisis with a number of creative solutions, in addition to providing offsets to ensure that solving a public health crisis does not lead to a fiscal one.
I voted for many of these bills when they came before the committee for mark up, and I want to offer my full support for this legislation.
