HR 9790: Modernizing Opioid Treatment Access Act 2.0 of 2026

The Modernizing Opioid Treatment Access Act 2.0 of 2026 allows specific addiction medicine specialists to prescribe methadone for opioid use disorder to be dispensed directly through pharmacies, rather than requiring patients to attend traditional treatment clinics. This change permits these qualified doctors to use telemedicine for patient care and requires that the methadone be in a liquid or dispersible tablet form. While the bill maintains existing clinic-based treatment options, it streamlines access by removing the need for pharmacies to obtain separate registrations to dispense the medication. The law also mandates that patients sign informed consent forms explaining how privacy rules differ between clinic and pharmacy settings, and it requires the Drug Enforcement Administration to report on the program's progress to Congress every year.

HR 9652: Northern Marianas VA Community-Based Outpatient Clinic Authorization Act of 2026

This bill authorizes the Department of Veterans Affairs to build or renovate a community-based outpatient clinic in Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands, using up to $3.696 million in fiscal year 2027. The legislation allows the VA to use flexible building standards suited to the island's unique geographic and logistical challenges, such as the need for ocean transport of materials and limited local contractors. It specifically aims to address the current lack of a permanent VA clinical presence in the region and reduce the burden on veterans who must travel long distances for care. Ultimately, the act provides funding and regulatory flexibility to establish a local medical facility for veterans living in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
