SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the ``Opioid Addiction Treatment Modernization Act''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. The Congress finds that opioid addiction has become a public health epidemic that must be addressed by increasing awareness and access to all treatment options for opioid addiction, overdose reversal, and relapse prevention. SEC. 3. OPIOID ADDICTION TREATMENT MODERNIZATION. (a) In General.--Section 303(g) of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 823(g)) is amended-- (1) by adding at the end the following: ``(3) The standards under paragraph (1)(A) (for determining whether a practitioner is qualified to engage in the treatment with respect to which registration is sought) shall include a requirement for completion, every 2 years, of training-- ``(A) provided (through classroom situations, seminars at professional society meetings, electronic communications, or otherwise) by an organization such as the American Society of Addiction Medicine, the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry, the American Medical Association, the American Osteopathic Association, the American Psychiatric Association, the American Association for the Treatment of Opioid Dependence, the National Council for Behavioral Health, or any other organization that the Secretary determines is appropriate; and ``(B) addressing-- ``(i) opioid detoxification; ``(ii) appropriate clinical use of all drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of opioid addiction; ``(iii) the need for initial and periodic assessments of each patient; ``(iv) the development of an individualized treatment plan for each patient; and ``(v) the importance of providing overdose reversal and relapse prevention, and appropriate counseling and other services.''; (2) in paragraph (2)(B), by inserting ``and annually thereafter,'' after ``before the initial dispensing of narcotic drugs in schedule III, IV, or V or combinations of such drugs to patients for maintenance or detoxification treatment,''; (3) by amending paragraph (2)(B)(ii) to read as follows: ``(ii) With respect to patients to whom the practitioner will provide such drugs or combinations of drugs, the practitioner has the capacity to provide directly or by referral-- ``(I) all drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of opioid addiction, including, as available, opioid maintenance, detoxification, and overdose reversal and relapse prevention; and ``(II) appropriate counseling and ancillary services.''; (4) by redesignating clause (iii) of paragraph (2)(B) as clause (iv); (5) after paragraph (2)(B)(ii), by inserting the following: ``(iii) The practitioner maintains a diversion control plan that contains specific measures to reduce the likelihood of the diversion of controlled substances prescribed by the practitioner for the treatment of opioid addiction.''; (6) by amending paragraph (2)(G)(ii) to read as follows: ``(ii) The term `qualifying physician' means a physician who meets the following: ``(I) The physician is licensed under State law. ``(II) The physician meets one or more of the following conditions: ``(aa) The physician holds a subspecialty board certification in addiction psychiatry from the American Board of Medical Specialties. ``(bb) The physician holds an addiction certification from the American Society of Addiction Medicine. ``(cc) The physician holds a subspecialty board certification in addiction medicine from the American Osteopathic Association. ``(dd) The physician has participated as an investigator in one or more clinical trials leading to the approval of a narcotic drug in schedule III, IV, or V for maintenance or detoxification treatment or the approval of a drug for the treatment of opioid addiction, as demonstrated by a statement submitted to the Secretary by the sponsor of such approved drug. ``(ee) The physician has such other training or experience as the State medical licensing board (of the State in which the physician will provide maintenance or detoxification treatment) considers to demonstrate the ability of the physician to treat and manage opiate-dependent patients. ``(ff) The physician has such other training or experience as the Secretary considers to demonstrate the ability of the physician to treat and manage opiate-dependent patients. Any criteria of the Secretary under this item shall be established by regulation. Any such criteria are effective only for 3 years after the date on which the criteria are promulgated, but may be extended for such additional discrete 3-year periods as the Secretary considers appropriate for purposes of this item.

(b) Inspection Authority.--The Secretary of Health and Human Services or the Attorney General of the United States may inspect persons that are registered under section 303(g) of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 823(g)) to ensure compliance with the requirements in this Act (and the amendments made by this Act) with respect to which noncompliance may result in a revocation or suspension of the practitioner's registration. (c) Certification of Compliance.--Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, all practitioners who, as of such date of enactment, are permitted to dispense narcotic drugs to individuals (for maintenance treatment or detoxification treatment) pursuant to paragraph (1) or (2) of section 303(g) of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 823(g)) shall submit a certification to the Secretary of Health and Human Services of compliance with the provisions of such section 303(g), as amended by this Act.

Summary: Opioid Addiction Treatment Modernization Act This bill amends the Controlled Substances Act to require a practitioner who administers or dispenses narcotic drugs for maintenance or detoxification treatment in an opioid treatment program to complete training every two years. The legislation revises the waiver requirements for a physician who wants to administer, dispense, or prescribe narcotic drugs for maintenance or detoxification treatment in an office-based opioid treatment program. Currently, such physician must notify the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and certify that he or she is a qualifying physician, has the capacity to refer patients for appropriate counseling and ancillary services, and will comply with a patient limit. This bill requires a physician to also certify that he or she maintains a diversion control plan and has the capacity to provide directly or by referral all drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of opioid addiction. The bill modifies the definition of a "qualifying physician." Currently, a qualifying physician must be licensed in a state and have expertise (such as relevant certification, training, or experience). This legislation requires a qualifying physician to also complete training every two years and obtain written consent from each patient regarding available treatment options.  It permits HHS or the Department of Justice to inspect registered practitioners who dispense narcotics to ensure compliance with the requirements of this Act. All practitioners who are permitted to dispense narcotic drugs to individuals for maintenance treatment or detoxification treatment must submit to HHS a certification of compliance with the requirements of this Act. The Government Accountability Office must review opioid addition treatment services in the United States and report findings to Congress every five years.


SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the ``Delphi Pensions Restoration Act of 2012''. SEC. 2. SALE OF TROUBLED ASSETS TO FUND CERTAIN PENSION BENEFITS. (a) In General.--Subsection (d) of section 106 of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (12 U.S.C. 5216) is amended to read as follows: ``(d) Disposition of Revenues.-- ``(1) Transfer to treasury.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), revenues of, and proceeds from the sale of troubled assets purchased under this Act, or from the sale, exercise, or surrender of warrants or senior debt instruments acquired under section 113 shall be paid into the general fund of the Treasury for reduction of the public debt. ``(2) Funding of certain pension benefits.--Proceeds from the sale or transfer, after the date of the enactment of the Delphi Pensions Restoration Act of 2012, of any stock, warrant, or financial instrument acquired by the Secretary in connection with providing financial assistance to the General Motors Corporation under this Act shall be transferred to the Delphi Retired Employees Fund established under section 3 of such Act.''. SEC. 3. DELPHI RETIRED EMPLOYEES FUND. (a) Establishment of Fund.--There is established on the books of the Treasury of the United States a Delphi Retired Employees Fund (hereinafter in this section referred to as the ``Fund'') to be used by the Secretary of the Treasury in making the payments required under subsection (b). (b) Payments From the Fund.--The Fund shall be available-- (1) for paying to each eligible separated employee (on a lump sum basis, if appropriate) an amount equal to-- (A) the nonforfeitable benefits to which such employee was entitled under a defined benefit plan described in subsection (d) as in effect immediately before the termination of the plan, but which are not payable to such employee by reason of the termination of the plan; reduced by (B) the amounts paid to such employee by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation under section 4022(a) of the Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974 (29 U.S.C. 1322(a)); and (2) for paying the operational and administrative expenses in connection with the operation of the Fund, including reimbursement of expenses incurred by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation in connection with the information sharing requirements of subsection (e). (c) Eligible Separated Employee.--For purposes of this section, the term ``eligible separated employee'' means any individual-- (1) who is separated from employment with Delphi Corporation before the date of the enactment of this Act; (2) who was a participant in a defined benefit plan described in subsection (d); and (3) who is not covered by any agreement between the General Motors Corporation and participants in such a defined benefit plan under which the General Motors Corporation provides to the participants that are covered by the agreement a payment of nonforfeitable benefits in an amount equal to the amount that such participants would have been entitled to receive under the plan but for the termination of such plan. (d) Defined Benefit Plans Described.--A defined benefit plan described in this subsection is a defined benefit plan-- (1) that was terminated before the date of the enactment of this Act pursuant to a proceeding under title 11, United States Code; (2) that was sponsored by the Delphi Corporation before the date of such termination; and (3) with respect to which the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation is administering, as of such date of enactment, the payment of the nonforfeitable benefits guaranteed under section 4022(a) of the Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974 (29 U.S.C. 1322(a)). (e) Information Sharing by Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.-- The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation shall provide to the Secretary of the Treasury such information as the Secretary of the Treasury may request to assist in determining the amount of each payment required to be made under subsection (b)(1). (f) Investment of the Fund.--Whenever the Secretary of the Treasury determines that the moneys of the Fund are in excess of current needs, the Secretary of the Treasury may invest such amounts as such Secretary deems advisable in obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States. Earnings on investment under the preceding sentence shall be credited to the Fund. SEC. 4. APPLICATION TO PENDING LITIGATION. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to invalidate, vitiate, or otherwise interfere with any legal or administrative proceeding initiated prior to the date of the enactment of this Act.

Summary: Delphi Pensions Restoration Act of 2012 - Amends the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 to require transfer to the Delphi Retired Employees Fund of all proceeds from the sale or transfer, after enactment of this Act, of any stock, warrant, or financial instrument acquired by the Secretary of the Treasury in connection with providing financial assistance to the General Motors Corporation (GM). Establishes the Delphi Retired Employees Fund in the Treasury for payments to eligible employees separated from Delphi Corporation who participated in a now terminated Delphi-sponsored defined benefit plan, but who are not covered by any agreement between GM and participants in another defined benefit plan under which GM pays covered participants nonforfeitable benefits equal to the amount they would have been entitled to receive under the plan but for the plan's termination. Makes the Fund available to pay each eligible separated employee an amount equal to such nonforfeitable benefits, reduced by any amounts already paid the employee by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) under the Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).


467 on July 22, 2004, by a unanimous vote of 422-0, which-- (A) declares that the atrocities unfolding in the Darfur region of Sudan, are genocide; (B) declares that the Government of Sudan has violated the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide; (C) urges the Administration to seriously consider multilateral intervention to stop genocide in Darfur should the United Nations Security Council fail to act; and (D) calls on the Administration to impose targeted sanctions, including visa bans and the freezing of assets of the Sudanese National Congress and affiliated business and individuals directly responsible for the atrocities in Darfur. (2) In the 109th Congress, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 3127, the Darfur Peace and Accountability Act of 2006, on April 5, 2006, by a vote of 416-3, which-- (A) appeals to the international community, including the United Nations, the European Union, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), to immediately mobilize sufficient political, military, and financial resources to support and expand the African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS); (B) blocks assets and restricts travel of any individual the President determines is responsible for acts of genocide, war crimes, or crimes against humanity in the Darfur region of Sudan; and (C) offers United States support for the International Criminal Court's efforts to prosecute those responsible for acts of genocide in Darfur. (3) On September 9, 2004, former Secretary of State Colin Powell stated before the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate that genocide was being committed in the Darfur region of Sudan and that the Government of Sudan and the government- supported Janjaweed militias bear responsibility for the genocide. (4) On September 21, 2004, President George W. Bush affirmed the Secretary of State's finding in an address before the United Nations General Assembly, stating that the world is witnessing terrible suffering and horrible crimes in the Darfur region of Sudan, crimes the Government of the United States has concluded are genocide. (5) Although the Government of the United States currently bans United States companies from conducting business operations in Sudan, millions of Americans are inadvertently supporting the Government of Sudan by investing in foreign companies that conduct business operations in Sudan that disproportionately benefit the Sudanese regime in Khartoum. (6) Illinois, New Jersey, Oregon, and Maine have passed legislation mandating divestment of State funds from companies that conduct business operations in Sudan. California, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, North Carolina, Kansas, Wisconsin, Indiana, Georgia, Maryland, New York, Iowa, and Texas have considered or are considering legislation to divest State funds from companies that conduct business operations in Sudan. Connecticut, Ohio, and Vermont have passed non-binding divestment legislation with respect to Sudan. Arizona, Louisiana, Missouri, and Pennsylvania have adopted screening processes for investments in companies that conduct business operations in countries that are sponsors of terrorism, including Sudan. (7) Providence, Rhode Island and New Haven, Connecticut have passed legislation mandating divestment of city funds from companies that conduct business operations in Sudan. (8) Amherst, Boston University, Brandeis, Brown, Columbia, Dartmouth, Harvard, Middlebury, Oberlin, Princeton, the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College, Samford, Simmons, Smith, Stanford, Trinity, the University of California, the University of Maryland, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Southern California, the University of Vermont, the University of Washington, Williams, and Yale have divested their funds from, or placed restrictions on investment of their funds in, certain companies that conduct business operations in Sudan. (9) No American should have to worry that his or her investments or pension money was earned in support of genocide. (10) Divestment has proven effective in similar situations, as in 1986, when State pension funds and university endowments were divested from companies that conducted business operations in South Africa, which was critical to ending apartheid in that country, and by 1994, when the first free elections in South Africa took place, a substantial number of States, counties, cities, universities and colleges in the United States had adopted partial or total divestment policies. (11) The only type of pressure shown to be effective against Sudan is economic pressure against the Government of Sudan, such as the imposition of sanctions and divestment. Sudan has cooperated with the United States on counterterrorism efforts due to United States sanctions imposed on Sudan in 1997 and Sudan agreed to negotiations with the Sudan People's Liberation Army of South Sudan that resulted in the Comprehensive Peace Agreement of 2005 due in part to a successful divestment campaign against Talisman Energy, Incorporated of Canada. (12) Congress acknowledges that divestment should be used sparingly and under extraordinary circumstances. This Act is based on unique circumstances, specifically, the reprehensible and abhorrent genocide occurring in Sudan. (13) The business operations of companies in countries that perpetrate grave abuses of human rights, especially the uniquely monstrous crime of genocide, are of material financial concern to United States investors even when these operations represent a small fraction of a company's total business. (14) State and city pension funds have routinely but unsuccessfully sought to acquire and utilize data from the Federal Government on companies for investment decisions. (15) The deteriorating security situation in the Darfur region of Sudan indicates that the people of Darfur cannot wait long for security to be reestablished. SEC. 3. STATEMENT OF POLICY. Congress recognizes and supports-- (1) States and cities that have divested or are in the process of divesting State and city funds from companies that conduct business operations in Sudan; and (2) United States colleges and universities that have divested their funds from, or placed restrictions on investments of their funds in, companies that conduct business operations in Sudan. SEC. 4. IDENTIFICATION OF COMPANIES CONDUCTING BUSINESS OPERATIONS IN SUDAN.

(a) Prohibition.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the Government of the United States shall not enter into or renew a contract for the procurement of goods or services with any company identified under section 4(a). (b) Exception.--The prohibition in subsection (a) shall not apply with respect to a company identified under section 4(a) whose business operations in Sudan are limited to activities or transactions relating to-- (1) southern Sudan, southern Kordofan/Nuba Mountains State, Blue Nile State, or Abyei; (2) the implementation of the Darfur Peace Agreement of May 5, 2006; (3) the provision of military equipment to be used by nongovernmental organizations in the Darfur region of Sudan, the African Union Mission in Sudan (AMIS), or the United Nations; or (4) the provision of humanitarian assistance that is of immediate and substantial benefit to-- (A) the majority of people of the Darfur region of Sudan; or (B) the majority of people of eastern Sudan, including the Red Sea, Kassala, and Gedaref States.
