Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-VA) today participated in a House Energy and Commerce Committee markup of 32 bills to address the national opioid crisis, including five bills he introduced or acted on as an original cosponsor. It follows last week’s markup of 25 opioid-related bills by the full Committee. He issued the following statement: “Today’s markup is the latest step in our work to address the opioid crisis that has devastated families in the Ninth District and across the country.

For our family, friends, and neighbors that grapple with the scourge of opioids, more help is on the way.” The bills Congressman Griffith introduced are:
