HEAL Act of 2023
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 118th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Halting the Epidemic of Addiction and Loss Act of 2023 or the HEAL Act of 2023
This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to ensure that references in its grant programs to opioid overdose reversal agents are inclusive of any such agents that have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Specifically, HHS must ensure that regulations, guidance, and other documents for grant programs that include references to opioid overdose reversal agents (e.g., naloxone) encompass any opioid overdose reversal agent that has been approved by the FDA. HHS must also update such references with respect to materials that were previously issued for State Opioid Response Grants, Tribal Opioid Response Grants, and Programs of Regional and National Significance for substance use disorder prevention.
