Greg Walden (R-Hood River), Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, announced a legislative markup for tomorrow, April 25, 2018, at 1:00pm ET. The Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health will meet to vote on more than 60 individual bills as part of the committee's ongoing efforts to combat the opioid crisis. Following tomorrow's markup, the bills must be approved by the full Energy and Commerce Committee before being considered by the House of Representatives. Walden's goal is to havelegislation to the floor of the House by Memorial Day. Under Walden's leadership, Energy and Commerce is in the midst of a two-track push to combat the opioid crisis, seeking to advance legislation to help stem the tide and investigate some of the root causes of the crisis. Specifically, the committee's legislative efforts have examined bills to: improve patient safety and bolster enforcement tools, advance prevention and public health solutions, and address coverage and payment issues within Medicare and Medicaid.
