Premium   Download PDF Now (29 pages)
Congress 115th
Date Requested May 17, 2018
Requested By House Committee on Energy and Commerce
Date Sent June 6, 2018
Description:

On May 9 and May 17, 2018, the House Committee on Energy and Commerce ordered 59 bills to be reported related to the nation’s response to the opioid epidemic. Because of the large number of related bills ordered reported by the Committee, CBO is publishing a single comprehensive document that includes estimates for each piece of legislation.

H.R. 5587, Peer Support Communities of Recovery Act, would direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award grants to nonprofit organizations that support community-based, peer-delivered support, including technical support for the establishment of recovery community organizations, independent, nonprofit groups led by people in recovery and their families. The bill would authorize $15 million per year for the 2019-2023 period. Based on historical spending patterns for similar activities, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 5587 would cost $62 million over the 2019-2023 period; the remaining amounts would be spent in years after 2023.
