To provide that the final rule of the Department of Health and Human Services titled "Medications for the Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder", except for the portion of the final rule relating to accreditation of opioid treatment programs, shall have no force or effect.

This bill would cancel part of a rule from the Department of Health and Human Services that made it easier for people to get treatment for opioid addiction. The rule let patients take methadone home during their first two months of treatment, allowed doctors to use video calls to start patients on certain medications, and gave patients more flexible dosing options. The rule also let people enter treatment programs without having to prove they had been misusing opioids for at least one year. The bill would eliminate all of these treatment options.
