Schumer launched his push to pass the Opioid Crisis Response Act, which the Senate will be considering in the coming weeks. Schumer explained that the Opioid Crisis Response Act includes numerous provisions that address the full continuum of addiction prevention and treatment in all populations. While Schumer spoke of the importance of the full suite of policy changes in the bill, he highlighted the provisions that will help first responders. These include tools to treat patients who have overdosed on opioids in the Capital Region, and grants to protect first responders from incidental exposure to dangerous opioids like fentanyl, which can be deadly in even the smallest doses. Schumer praised first responders for their tireless work in the region, and said that they need to be provided with every tool possible to address this ongoing crisis. Schumer said that the opioid epidemic requires an all-hands-on-deck and an all-of-the-above approach, and called on his colleagues in the Senate to waste no time passing this critical package of bills."}}
