H.R. 6, Substance Use-Disorder Prevention that Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment (SUPPORT) for Patients and Communities Act

On September 27, 2018, CBO published an Estimate for H.R. 6 (version OPIOID-CONF\HR6-CONF-COMBO_04.XML, September 25, 2018). This estimate is for an amended version of that bill (HR6-CONF-COMBO_07.XML, September 27, 2018) and includes three additional provisions (sections 4003, 4004, and 5061). On net, the additional provisions are estimated to reduce the unified-budget deficit by $46 million over the 2019-2028 period. In total, CBO estimates that H.R. 6 would reduce the unified-budget deficit by $2 million over the same period.
