A bill to require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to issue draft guidance to address non-addictive analgesics for chronic pain.

This bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to issue draft guidance within one year of enactment, focusing on developing non-addictive pain treatments for chronic pain. The guidance must align with existing provisions under the SUPPORT Act, specifying details needed for pharmaceutical developers creating these treatments. It directly affects the HHS Secretary and future pharmaceutical companies working on non-addictive analgesics. The key mechanism is a mandatory timeline for HHS to create this guidance, aiming to streamline the development process for safer pain medications.
