WASHINGTON — U.S. Representative Randy Hultgren (IL-14) delivered a statement on the House floor in support of the House’s efforts this week to pass a series of bills combating heroin and opioid abuse, and to encourage communities across the country to come together to fight this epidemic.
Among other bills passed this week was H.R. 3680, the Co-Prescribing to Reduce Overdoses Act of 2015, a bill Rep. Hultgren cosponsored which would help reduce drug overdoses across the country by giving at-risk patients better access to lifesaving overdose reversal drugs.
Rep. Hultgren has been a leader in the fight against heroin and opioid abuse in northern Illinois.
