MANCHIN, BRAUN FREED OF OPIOIDS ACT PASSES OUT OF HELP COMMITTEE

Press Release

“In 2022, more than 109,000 Americans died from a drug overdose, and nearly 80,000 of those deaths were related to opioid or synthetic opioid use. I’m proud our bipartisan legislation, which would compel the FDA to prioritize public safety and fix their flawed marketing practices for dangerous opioids, has passed out of Committee. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support this commonsense amendment that would save countless American lives from this devastating epidemic.”
