                          Purpose and Summary

    H.R. 5046 authorizes the Attorney General to make grants to 
States, units of local government, and Indian tribes, for the 
purpose of providing services relating to opioid abuse. The 
grant program contains eight allowable uses for the grant 
funds, which are broadly construed to give states flexibility 
in responding to the opioid epidemic within their borders.

                Background and Need for the Legislation

    In recent years, the United States has experienced a 
growing epidemic of prescription drug abuse and heroin use. 
Recently, this phenomenon has become commonly known as an 
opioid epidemic. An ``opioid'' is a type of narcotic derived 
from the opium poppy, which includes naturally-occurring drugs 
like morphine or codeine, as well as synthetic or partially 
synthetic drugs like hydrocodone (including brand names like 
Vicodin), oxycodone (including OxyContin and Percocet), and 
heroin. Hydrocodone products are the most commonly prescribed 
for a variety of painful conditions, including dental and 
injury-related pain. Morphine is often used before and after 
surgical procedures to alleviate severe pain. Codeine, on the 
other hand, is often prescribed for mild pain.
    Non-illicit opioids act by attaching to specific proteins 
called opioid receptors, which are found in the brain, spinal 
cord, gastrointestinal tract, and other organs in the body. 
When these drugs attach to their receptors, they reduce the 
user's perception of pain. However, opioids' effect on the body 
means that they also have a very high potential for abuse. The 
drugs' abuse potential, over-prescribing by the medical 
profession, and diversion of prescription opioids from the 
legitimate supply chain have all contributed to the ongoing 
epidemic. Today, an estimated 46,000 people die each year from 
prescription drug overdoses. Not only has the total number of 
opioid pain relievers prescribed in the United States 
skyrocketed in the past 25 years, but a recent study in the 
journal of American Medicine (JAMA) showed that more than half 
of chronic prescription drug abusers--meaning those who took 
pills for at least 200 days during the past year--received 
those pills from prescriptions written for them (27.3 percent) 
or friends and family (26 percent).
    In response to these and other concerns, the Drug 
Enforcement Administration has cracked down on the illicit use 
of prescription drugs in recent years, and, in 2014, 
rescheduled hydrocodone from Schedule III to Schedule II, which 
has led to tighter regulation of ``hydrocodone combination 
products.'' In July 2015, the Judiciary Committee held a 
hearing on the topic of heroin, which also examined the related 
problem of prescription drug abuse. At that hearing, Committee 
members heard from government experts at the Federal and local 
levels about the growing availability of illicit heroin, which 
has not happened by accident. The crackdown on illicit 
prescription opioids means they have become very expensive on 
the illicit market (sometimes as high as $1 per milligram). 
That means that, once a user has become addicted to the opioid, 
he or she may not be able to afford the pills. However, as an 
opioid itself, heroin has a similar effect on the body, and is 
much cheaper. South and Central American drug cartels have 
noticed this, and have made a business decision to traffic more 
heroin across our Southern border.
    H.R. 5046 is intended to continue the fight against opioid 
abuse, by creating a comprehensive grant program to address the 
problem. The new grant program builds off programs already 
being run at the Justice Department to address drug abuse, and 
specifically focus on opioid abuse. This legislation is similar 
to other proposals to enact new grant programs, but is more 
streamlined and condensed. This program is authorized at a 
higher level than existing proposals, but is fully offset to 
comply with House rules.

                                Hearings

    The Committee on the Judiciary held no hearings on H.R. 
5046.

                        Committee Consideration

    On April 27, 2016, the Committee met in open session and 
ordered the bill H.R. 5046 favorably reported, without 
amendment, by voice vote, a quorum being present.

                            Committee Votes

    In compliance with clause 3(b) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, the Committee advises that there 
were no recorded votes during the Committee's consideration of 
H.R. 5046.

                      Committee Oversight Findings

    In compliance with clause 3(c)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules 
of the House of Representatives, the Committee advises that the 
findings and recommendations of the Committee, based on 
oversight activities under clause 2(b)(1) of rule X of the 
Rules of the House of Representatives, are incorporated in the 
descriptive portions of this report.

               New Budget Authority and Tax Expenditures

    Clause 3(c)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of 
Representatives is inapplicable because this legislation does 
not provide new budgetary authority or increased tax 
expenditures.

               Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate

    In compliance with clause 3(c)(3) of rule XIII of the Rules 
of the House of Representatives, the Committee sets forth, with 
respect to the bill, H.R. 5046, the following estimate and 
comparison prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget 
Office under section 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 
1974:

                                     U.S. Congress,
                               Congressional Budget Office,
                                       Washington, DC, May 4, 2016.
Hon. Bob Goodlatte, Chairman,
Committee on the Judiciary,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
prepared the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 5046, the 
``Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Reduction Act of 2016.''
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Mark 
Grabowicz, who can be reached at 226-2860.
            Sincerely,
                                                Keith Hall,
                                                  Director.

Enclosure

cc:
        Honorable John Conyers, Jr.
        Ranking Member




          H.R. 5046--Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Reduction Act 
                                of 2016.

      As ordered reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary 
                           on April 27, 2016.




                                SUMMARY

    H.R. 5046 would authorize the appropriation of $103 million 
annually over the 2017-2021 period for the Department of 
Justice (DOJ) to make grants to state, local, and tribal 
governments for programs to combat opioid abuse. The bill also 
would eliminate the current authorization of appropriations of 
$20 million annually over the 2017-2021 period for DOJ to make 
grants to state and local governments for law enforcement 
emergencies. That grant program last received an appropriation 
in 2013 of about $4 million. Assuming appropriation actions 
consistent with the bill, CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 
5046 would have a net discretionary cost of $248 million over 
the 2017-2021 period, and $167 million after 2021.
    Enacting the bill would not affect direct spending or 
revenues, so pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO 
estimates that enacting H.R. 5046 would not increase net direct 
spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 
10-year periods beginning in 2027.
    H.R. 5046 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector 
mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).

                ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

    The estimated budgetary impact of H.R. 5046 is shown in the 
following table. The costs of this legislation fall within 
budget function 750 (administration of justice). CBO assumes 
that the bill will be enacted near the end of 2016 and that 
outlays will follow the historical rate of spending for similar 
activities.

1. The Emergency Law Enforcement Assistance program is currently authorized at $20 million annually. The program
  last received on appropriation in 2013 of about $4 million.

                      PAY-AS-YOU-GO CONSIDERATIONS

    None.

           INCREASE IN LONG-TERM DIRECT SPENDING AND DEFICITS

    CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 5046 would not increase 
net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four 
consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027.

        ESTIMATED IMPACT ON STATE, LOCAL, AND TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS

    H.R. 5046 contains no intergovernmental mandates as defined 
in UMRA. State, local, and tribal governments would benefit 
from grants authorized in the bill to address epidemics of 
opioid abuse and addiction. Any costs to the state or local 
governments would result from complying with conditions of 
assistance.

                 ESTIMATED IMPACT ON THE PRIVATE SECTOR

    H.R. 5046 contains no private-sector mandates as defined in 
UMRA.

Impact on the Private Sector: Paige Piper/Bach

                         ESTIMATE APPROVED BY:

H. Samuel Papenfuss
Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis

                    Duplication of Federal Programs

    No provision of H.R. 5046 establishes or reauthorizes a 
program of the Federal Government known to be duplicative of 
another Federal program, a program that was included in any 
report from the Government Accountability Office to Congress 
pursuant to section 21 of Public Law 111-139, or a program 
related to a program identified in the most recent Catalog of 
Federal Domestic Assistance.

                  Disclosure of Directed Rule Makings

    The Committee estimates that H.R. 5046 specifically directs 
to be completed no specific rule makings within the meaning of 
5 U.S.C. Sec. 551.

                    Performance Goals and Objectives

    The Committee states that pursuant to clause 3(c)(4) of 
rule XIII of the Rules of the House of Representatives, H.R. 
5046 creates a new comprehensive grant program at the 
Department of Justice, and authorizes the Attorney General to 
make grants under that program to States, units of local 
government, and Indian tribes, for the purpose of providing 
services relating to opioid abuse.

                          Advisory on Earmarks

    In accordance with clause 9 of rule XXI of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives, H.R. 5046 does not contain any 
congressional earmarks, limited tax benefits, or limited tariff 
benefits as defined in clause 9(e), 9(f), or 9(g) of Rule XXI.

                      Section-by-Section Analysis

    The following discussion describes the bill as reported by 
the Committee.
    Section 1. Short Title. This section cites the short title 
of the bill as the ``Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Reduction Act 
of 2016.''
    Section 2. Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Grant Program. This 
section creates a new Federal grant program, to be administered 
by the Department of Justice, as Part LL of the Omnibus Crime 
Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968.\1\ The new sections are 
as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \1\Pub. L. No. 90-351, 82 Stat. 197 (1968) (codified at 42 U.S.C. 
Sec. 3711 et seq.).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Section 3021: This section authorizes the Attorney General 
to make grants to States, units of local government, and Indian 
tribes, for the purpose of providing services relating to 
opioid abuse. The grant program contains eight allowable uses 
for the grant funds, which are broadly construed to give states 
flexibility in responding to the opioid epidemic within their 
borders.
    Briefly, the allowable uses include: (1) alternatives to 
incarceration programs; (2) collaboration between criminal 
justice agencies and substance abuse systems; (3) training for 
first responders in carrying and administering opioid overdose 
reversal drugs (including naloxone); (4) investigative purposes 
related to unlawful distribution of opioids; (5) medication-
assisted treatment by criminal justice agencies; (6) 
prescription drug monitoring programs; (7) programs 
specifically targeted to juvenile opioid abuse; and (8) for a 
jurisdiction to develop its own comprehensive opioid abuse 
reduction program. This section also allows grantees to make 
subawards to local and regional non-profit organizations, 
including faith-based organizations.
    Section 3022: This section lays out the process by which a 
potential grantee may apply for a grant, and imposes general 
requirements for recordkeeping and data reporting during the 
pendency of a grant. This section also requires each grantee to 
work with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to develop 
a comprehensive strategy for addressing opioid abuse.
    Section 3023: This section provides that the Attorney 
General may not reject an application without giving a 
potential grantee notice of the deficiencies in the application 
and an opportunity to correct them.
    Section 3024: This section requires the Attorney General to 
ensure equitable geographic distribution of the grant funds, 
and to take into consideration the needs of rural and tribal 
communities.
    Section 3025: This section contains definitions for the 
various terms used in the bill. This section also provides for 
an authorized funding level of $103 million annually, all of 
which is fully offset.
    Section 3. Audit and Accountability of Grantees. This 
section requires the DOJ Inspector General, at his discretion, 
to conduct audits of covered grantees to prevent waste, fraud, 
and abuse of funds. This section prohibits grantees with 
unresolved audit findings from receiving grants in the 
following fiscal year, and prioritizes grantees that do not 
have such findings. If a grantee nevertheless receives funds 
inappropriately, this section also compels DOJ to reimburse the 
Treasury for the amount awarded, and to seek to recoup the 
funds from the grantee.
    With respect to nonprofit organizations, this section 
prohibits nonprofits that hold money in offshore accounts for 
the purpose of avoiding certain Federal taxes\2\ from applying 
for grants. It also requires nonprofit organizations to 
disclose, in a grant application, the compensation of its Board 
of Directors. This section further prohibits nonprofits from 
using funds awarded under this Act to lobby Federal, state, or 
local government representatives regarding the award of grant 
funding. If a grantee nevertheless does so, this section 
requires DOJ to compel the grantee to repay the grant in full, 
and to prohibit the grantee from receiving a further grant 
under the program from which it received an award for at least 
5 years.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \2\26 U.S.C. Sec. 511(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Section 4. Veterans Treatment Courts. This section defines 
``qualified veterans'' under this section as those that have 
served active duty in any branch of the Armed Services and have 
been discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. 
Additionally, it provides a definitional framework for ``peer-
to peer'' programs, ``veterans treatment court'' programs, and 
``veterans assistance'' programs that are eligible under this 
section.
    Section 5. Emergency Federal Law Enforcement Assistance. 
This section amends the Emergency Federal Law Enforcement 
Assistance Program\3\ to authorize the appropriation of $100 
million over 5 years in additional funding to support Federal 
anti-opioid programs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    \3\42 U.S.C. Sec. 10513(a).
