Senate to Vote This Week on Opioid Bill With FDA Provisions

The Senate will vote later this week on a sweeping, bipartisan opioid bill that will seek to slow the opioid epidemic that killed more than 70,000 in 2017.

Among the more than 70 proposals included in the bill are several related to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Institutes of Health and other Department of Health and Human Services agencies.
