SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds as follows:
            (1) In the 1980s and 1990s, pharmaceutical companies began 
        developing new drugs for pain treatment, including extended 
        release oxycodone. These companies aggressively marketed these 
        drugs to the medical community as a way to address ``under-
        treatment'' of physical pain. Drug companies distributed 
        76,000,000,000 oxycodone and hydrocodone pain pills nationwide 
        from 2006 to 2012.
            (2) The combination of a rising number of prescriptions, 
        misinformation about the addictive properties of prescription 
        opioids, and the perception that prescription drugs are less 
        harmful than illicit drugs has caused an increase in drug 
        misuse.
            (3) As legitimate production and illegal diversion of 
        opioids skyrocketed, so did the number of opioid overdose 
        deaths. From 1999 to 2017, almost 218,000 people died in the 
        United States from overdoses related to prescription opioids. 
        More recently, fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid, surpassed 
        prescription opioids as the most lethal overdose substance and 
        now is linked to nearly 3 times as many deaths.
            (4) The scale of the opioid crisis is staggering:
                    (A) In 2018, approximately 10,300,000 people in the 
                United States age 12 and older misused opioids.
                    (B) On average, 130 people in the United States die 
                every day from an opioid overdose.
                    (C) The opioid crisis has cost the United States 
                economy at least $631,000,000,000.
                    (D) From 2013 to 2017, the number of children in 
                foster care nationwide increased 10 percent to nearly 
                442,995. Parental drug use was cited as a factor in 36 
                percent of cases.
            (5) The opioid crisis has also led to a cascade of other 
        negative health impacts. For example, syringe sharing among 
        people who inject drugs has led to increases in hepatitis C 
        virus infections and infective endocarditis, as well as 
        localized HIV outbreaks.
            (6) The United States health care system has struggled to 
        catch up to the crisis:
                    (A) The majority of people in the United States 
                with an opioid use disorder do not receive substance 
                use treatment, and many who do receive such treatment 
                do not receive evidence-based treatment. Although 
                medication-assisted treatment has been endorsed by the 
                National Institutes of Health and the World Health 
                Organization, only one-third of treatment programs 
                offer any of the 3 drugs approved by the Food and Drug 
                Administration for the treatment of opioid use 
                disorder, and just 6 percent of medication-offering 
                facilities provide all 3.
                    (B) Facilities that provide medications for the 
                treatment of opioid disorder are concentrated in the 
                Northeast and Southwest, leaving many of the areas hit 
                hardest by the opioid crisis without access to 
                evidence-based treatment. The need is particularly 
                acute in rural areas, which often do not have enough 
                providers to meet the demand.
                    (C) Unlike other health care needs, substance use 
                treatment is largely funded by State and local revenues 
                and Federal block grants, rather than the Medicare 
                program, the Medicaid program, and private insurance.
                    (D) While new substances, particularly synthetic 
                drugs, continue to make inroads into communities in the 
                United States, funding streams are often dedicated to 
                particular substances, limiting providers' ability to 
                adapt to changing needs.
                    (E) The stigma associated with substance use 
                disorder prevents people from seeking treatment. Too 
                often, people enter substance use treatment only after 
                committing a criminal offense, whether through a court 
                mandate, as a condition of parole or probation 
                supervision, or as a condition of regaining employment 
                after conviction. In 2003, 36 percent of all substance 
                use treatment admissions, 40 percent of all alcohol 
                abuse treatment admissions, and 57 percent of all 
                marijuana use treatment admissions were referrals from 
                the criminal justice system.
                    (F) The stigma of substance use disorder also 
                limits people's ability to find jobs and housing. These 
                obstacles are exacerbated by the criminalization of 
                substance use disorder--even convictions for drug 
                possession for personal use can create lifelong 
                collateral consequences. The absence of stable housing 
                and employment make it even more difficult for people 
                to live drug free.
            (7) Not all people in the United States have equal access 
        to substance use treatment in the community. Current research 
        has found that Black and Latinx Americans are less likely to 
        receive substance use treatment when controlling for other 
        relevant factors, like socioeconomic status.
            (8) Inadequate access to substance use treatment can 
        exacerbate other health disparities. Individuals with substance 
        use disorders have higher rates of suicide attempts than 
        individuals in the general population, high health care 
        expenses, and significant disability.
            (9) A comprehensive public health approach that tackles 
        both the causes and the consequences of substance use disorder 
        is necessary to stem the tide.

SEC. 402. DEFLECTION AND PRE-ARREST DIVERSION.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Law enforcement officers and other first responders are 
        at the front line of the opioid epidemic. However, a 
        traditional law enforcement response to substance use often 
        fails to disrupt the cycle of addiction and arrest, or reduce 
        the risk of overdose.
            (2) Law enforcement-assisted deflection and diversion 
        programs have the potential to improve public health, decrease 
        the number of people entering the criminal justice system for 
        low-level offenses, and address racial disparities.
            (3) According to the Bureau of Justice Assistance of the 
        Department of Justice, ``Five pathways have been most commonly 
        associated with opioid overdose prevention and diversion to 
        treatment.'' The 5 pathways are--
                    (A) ``self-referral'', in which--
                            (i) an individual voluntarily initiates 
                        contact with a first responder, such as a law 
                        enforcement officer, firefighter, or emergency 
                        medical services professional, for a treatment 
                        referral (without fear of arrest); and
                            (ii) the first responder personally 
                        introduces the individual to a treatment 
                        provider (commonly known as a ``warm 
                        handoff'');
                    (B) ``active outreach'', in which a law enforcement 
                officer or other first responder--
                            (i) identifies or seeks out individuals in 
                        need of substance use disorder treatment; and
                            (ii) makes a warm handoff of such an 
                        individual to a treatment provider, who engages 
                        the individual in treatment;
                    (C) ``naloxone plus'', in which a law enforcement 
                officer or other first responder engages an individual 
                in treatment as a follow-up to an overdose response;
                    (D) ``officer prevention referral'', in which a law 
                enforcement officer or other first responder initiates 
                treatment engagement with an individual, but no 
                criminal charges are filed against the individual; and
                    (E) ``officer intervention referral'', in which--
                            (i) a law enforcement officer or other 
                        first responder initiates treatment engagement 
                        with an individual; and
                            (ii)(I) criminal charges are filed against 
                        the individual and held in abeyance; or
                            (II) a citation is issued to the 
                        individual.
            (4) As of the date of enactment of this Act, there are no 
        national best practices or guidelines for law enforcement-
        assisted deflection and diversion programs.
