                          Purpose and Summary

    H.R. 3691, the ``Improving Treatment for Pregnant and 
Postpartum Women Act of 2016,'' was introduced by Rep. Ben Ray 
Lujan (D-NM), Rep. Tonko (D-NY), Rep. Clarke (D-NY), Rep. 
Matsui (D-CA), and Rep. Cardenas (D-CA). This legislation 
reauthorizes a grant program for residential treatment for 
pregnant and postpartum women who have an opioid use disorder 
and for their children, including those who may be born with 
neonatal abstinence syndrome. It creates a new pilot program to 
enhance the flexibility of the funds so states can more broadly 
support family-based services for pregnant and postpartum women 
and their children.

                  Background and Need for Legislation

    In most instances, withdrawal or detoxification is not 
clinically appropriate for pregnant women with opioid use 
disorders. The withdrawal symptoms associated with 
discontinuing opioid use in pregnant women can lead to 
miscarriage or other negative birth outcomes. Buprenorphine and 
methadone can be used to treat a woman's opioid use disorder 
while pregnant. Such treatment can result in improved outcomes 
for both mothers and babies.
    Unfortunately, babies exposed to opioids in utero may be 
born with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), which refers to 
medical issues associated with opioid withdrawal in newborns. 
Mothers suffering from opioid use disorder may be sent home 
with babies who have NAS with very little guidance or support 
which can have negative consequences for their babies. In the 
United States, the incidence of NAS has risen from 1.20 per 
1,000 hospital births in 2000 to 3.9 per 1,000 hospital births 
in 2009. NAS can result from the use of prescription opioids as 
prescribed for medical reasons, abuse of prescription opioid 
medication, or the use of illegal opioids like heroin.
    The grant program reauthorized in Section 508 of the Public 
Health Service Act helps support residential treatment 
facilities where women and their children receive support, 
education, treatment, and counseling that they need. The pilot 
program will allow states more flexibility in providing these 
services for women and children in need.

                                Hearings

    The Subcommittee on Health held a hearing on H.R. 3391 on 
October 20, 2015. The Subcommittee received testimony from:

        Planning and Evaluation, Department of Health and Human 
        Services;
         Mr. Jack Riley, Deputy Administrator, Drug 
        Enforcement Administration;
         Dr. Allen Anderson, President, American 
        Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine;
         Dr. Paul Halverson, Dean, Indiana University, 
        Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health;

        Medicine.

                        Committee Consideration

    On April 20, 2016, the Subcommittee on health met in open 
markup session and forwarded H.R. 3691, without amendment, to 
the full Committee by a voice vote. On April 26, 27, and 28, 
2016, the full Committee on Energy and Commerce met in open 
markup session and ordered H.R. 3691 reported to the House, as 
amended, by a voice vote.

                            Committee Votes

    Clause 3(b) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House of 
Representatives requires the Committee to list the record votes 
on the motion to report legislation and amendments thereto. 
There were no record votes taken in connection with ordering 
H.R. 3691 reported.

                      Committee Oversight Findings

    Pursuant to clause 3(c)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives, the Committee held a hearing and made 
findings that are reflected in this report.

         Statement of General Performance Goals and Objectives

    The goal of this legislation is to reauthorize the 
residential treatment programs for pregnant and postpartum 
women and to establish a pilot program to provide grants to 
state substance abuse agencies to promote innovative service 
delivery models for such women.

   New Budget Authority, Entitlement Authority, and Tax Expenditures

    In compliance with clause 3(c)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules 
of the House of Representatives, the Committee finds that H.R. 
3691 would result in no new or increased budget authority, 
entitlement authority, or tax expenditures or revenues.

       Earmark, Limited Tax Benefits, and Limited Tariff Benefits

    In compliance with clause 9(e), 9(f), and 9(g) of rule XXI 
of the Rules of the House of Representatives, the Committee 
finds that H.R. 3691 contains no earmarks, limited tax 
benefits, or limited tariff benefits.

                        Committee Cost Estimate

    The Committee adopts as its own the cost estimate prepared 
by the Director of the Congressional Budget Office pursuant to 
section 402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.

                  Congressional Budget Office Estimate

    Pursuant to clause 3(c)(3) of rule XIII of the Rules of the 
House of Representatives, the following is the cost estimate 
provided by the Congressional Budget Office pursuant to section 
402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974:

                                                       May 9, 2016.
Hon. Fred Upton,
Chairman, Committee on Energy and Commerce,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
prepared the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 3691, the 
Improving Treatment for Pregnant and Postpartum Women Act of 
2015.
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Ellen Werble.
            Sincerely,
                                                        Keith Hall.
    Enclosure.

H.R. 3691--Improving Treatment for Pregnant and Postpartum Women Act of 
        2015

    Summary: H.R. 3691 would reauthorize programs for 
residential treatment of pregnant and postpartum women. The 
bill also would require the Substance Abuse and Mental Health 
Services Administration (SAMHSA) to establish a pilot program 
to award grants to support programs that treat substance abuse 
in pregnant and postpartum women. Additionally, H.R. 3691 would 
reduce amounts authorized to be appropriated for existing 
activities related to bioterrorism and public health 
emergencies at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
(CDC). Assuming appropriation actions consistent with the bill, 
CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 3691 would have a net 
discretionary cost of $65 million over the 2017-2021 period.
    Pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply because enacting H.R. 
3691 would not affect direct spending or revenues. CBO 
estimates that enacting H.R. 3691 would not increase net direct 
spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 
10-year periods beginning in 2027
    H.R. 3691 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 effect of H.R. 3691 is shown in the following table. 
The costs of this legislation fall within budget function 550 
(health).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: * = between $0 and -$500,000; details may not add to totals because of rounding.

    Basis of estimate: For this estimate, CB0 assumes that H.R. 
3691 will be enacted near the end of fiscal year 2016 and that 
spending will follow historical patterns for similar programs.

Substance abuse and mental health services administration

    H.R. 3691 would reauthorize grants for residential 
treatment programs for pregnant and postpartum women. The 
authority for those grant programs at SAMHSA expired in 2003; 
however, the Congress has continued to appropriate funds each 
year. For fiscal year 2016, SAMHSA received an appropriation of 
$15.9 million for those programs. The bill also would require 
SAMHSA to establish a pilot program to award grants to support 
programs to treat substance abuse in pregnant and postpartum 
women and to fund an evaluation of the pilot program. The bill 
would authorize the appropriation of $16.9 million for these 
activities for each of fiscal years 2017 through 2021. Assuming 
appropriation of the specified amounts, CB0 estimates that 
implementing these provisions would cost about $69 million over 
the 2017-2021 period.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

    Under current law, an authorization of appropriation of 
$138 million exists for 2017 for CDC activities related to 
bioterrorism and public health emergencies. H.R. 3691 would 
reduce the amount authorized by $5 million in 2017. Assuming 
appropriations are reduced accordingly, CBO estimates that 
implementing this provision would result in $5 million less in 
discretionary outlays for those activities over 2017-2021 
period.
    Pay-as-you-go considerations: None.
    Increase in long-term direct spending and deficits: CBO 
estimates that enacting H.R. 3691 would not increase net direct 
spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 
10-year periods beginning in 2027.
    Intergovernmental and private-sector impact: H.R. 3691 
contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as 
defined in UMRA. Any costs incurred by states or local 
governments that apply for grants authorized by the bill would 
be incurred voluntarily as a condition of federal assistance.
    Estimate prepared by: Federal Costs: Ellen Werble; Impact 
on State, Local, and Tribal Governments: Leo Lexi; Impact on 
the Private Sector: Amy Petz.
    Estimate approved by: Holly Harvey, Deputy Assistant 
Director for Budget Analysis.

                       Federal Mandates Statement

    The Committee adopts as its own the estimate of Federal 
mandates prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget 
Office pursuant to section 423 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform 
Act.

                    Duplication of Federal Programs

    No provision of H.R. 3691 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 enacting H.R. 3691 
specifically directs to be completed 0 rule makings within the 
meaning of 5 U.S.C. 551.

                      Advisory Committee Statement

    No advisory committees within the meaning of section 5(b) 
of the Federal Advisory Committee Act were created by this 
legislation.

                  Applicability to Legislative Branch

    The Committee finds that the legislation does not relate to 
the terms and conditions of employment or access to public 
services or accommodations within the meaning of section 
102(b)(3) of the Congressional Accountability Act.

             Section-by-Section Analysis of the Legislation


Section 1. Short title

    Section 1 states that the legislation may be cited as the 
``Improving Treatment for Pregnant and Postpartum Women Act of 
2016.''

Section 2. Reauthorization of residential treatment programs for 
        pregnant and postpartum women

    Section 2 reauthorizes Section 508 of the Public Health 
Service Act, residential treatment programs for pregnant and 
postpartum women. Section 508 is reauthorized for fiscal years 
2017 to 2021 for $16.9 million a year over those five years.

Section 3. Pilot program grants for state substance abuse agencies

    Section 3 creates a pilot program under Section 508 of the 
Public Health Service Act to enhance flexibility in the use of 
funds to support family-based services for pregnant and 
postpartum women with a primary diagnosis of substance use 
disorder, including opioid use disorder, and help states 
identify gaps in service. This grant will also help promote 
coordinated, effective and efficient state systems.

Section 4. Cut-Go compliance

    Section 4 reduces the authorization of Section 319D of the 
Public Health Service Act by $5,000,000 for fiscal year 2018 to 
bring the legislation into compliance with Cut-Go. This 
reduction is equal to the increase in authorization of 
appropriations above the last appropriated level for the 
program being reauthorized in Section 2 of H.R. 3691.
