What’s happening with OPIOIDS Act?
The OPIOIDS Act, known as S. 617, has been in the Senate Committee on the Judiciary since February 17, 2025. The committee members must act next to hold a vote, but most bills fail because they never receive a committee hearing. This bill follows a similar effort from March 26, 2023, that did not advance before the session ended.
