WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02), Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, issued the following statement in response to Democrats’ false claims regarding Committee’s reconciliation text. “From the moment a budget reconciliation bill was on the table, Democrats began their fear campaign to scare Americans without any of the details. Now, Democrats are pedaling incorrect reports that include policies that aren’t even in the bill. This bill refocuses Medicaid on mothers, children, people with disabilities, and the elderly—not illegal immigrants and capable adults who choose not to work. It is reckless that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle claimed an artificially high number in alleged coverage loss just so they can fear monger and score political points,” said Chairman Guthrie. “This reconciliation is a win for Americans in every part of the country, and it’s a shame Democrats are intentionally reflexively opposing commonsense policies to strengthen the program.”   Read the story here .

Below are key excerpts from yesterday’s markup: Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02) on the SUPPORT Act: “For far too long, Americans have witnessed the unprecedented rise in drug overdoses and substance use disorders, creating an imminent need for prevention, treatment and recovery services. The SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Reauthorization Act is a long standing priority for me and all the members of this committee, and this bill would reauthorize essential public health programs focused on prevention, treatment, and recovery for patients with substance use disorder.” Congresswoman Kat Cammack (FL-03) on the Charlotte Woodward Organ Transplant Discrimination Prevention Act: “This legislation is named in honor of Charlotte Woodward, a remarkable young woman with Down syndrome, who received a life-saving heart transplant more than 12 years ago. Charlotte is here with us today, and one day, she's going to be a member of Congress. That's what I'm putting my money on, but her presence here today is a powerful reminder that every life has value and potential, regardless of disability.” Congresswoman Diana Harshbarger (TN-01) on Seniors’ Access to Critical Medications Act: “ This legislation would provide continuation of pre-pandemic era flexibilities for specialty physicians and other healthcare providers to be able to deliver oral medications to patients by mail delivery or courier, or it would allow a designated caregiver or family member to pick up these medications instead for the patients. It's critically important for the well-being of cancer patients and others with serious diseases who are too sick to pick up their medications in person who live in rural areas distant from their physicians or who simply do not have transportation.” ###

Below are key excerpts from today’s markup: Congressman Gus Bilirakis (FL-12) on the Transparency In Charges for Key Events Ticketing (TICKET) Act: “This legislation is about protecting consumers and ensuring fans can enjoy live events by improving ticket price transparency. HR 1402 requires all event ticket sellers to display the total ticket price, including all required fees upfront, provide refunds for canceled or postponed events and protect consumers from deceptive ticketing websites. This bill also prohibits speculative ticket sales, which is the practice of selling tickets that one does not actually possess. By eliminating this loophole, we are ensuring fairer access to tickets for all fans.” Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) on the Tools to Address Known Exploitation by Immobilizing Technological Deepfakes On Websites and Networks (TAKE IT DOWN) Act: “We've heard time and again of the horrific stories of people ranging from celebrities to 14-year-old girls that have been victimized by this harmful content by strangers or even their peers. While AI has the potential to be harnessed for incredible things, there are far too many predators out there who abuse its power to exploit innocent people, which is why Congress must implement decisive federal guidelines. Myself, as a father of three girls, it's sickening, it's harmful, and it must stop. Big tech will not remain complicit anymore. They will take it down. This commonsense legislation is simple and should be a no-brainer to support. It would criminalize the publication of nonconsensual sexually exploitative images, including AI generated deep fakes and require platforms to remove them. This legislation has also been narrowly crafted to ensure that it does not affect consensual and constitutionally protected speech, which brings me back to the fact that this should be a no brainer to support.” Congressman Nick Langworthy (NY-23) on the Setting Consumer Standards for Lithium-Ion Batteries Act: “The flood of shoddily manufactured lithium-ion batteries into the United States with no serious safety standards has led to deadly fires and explosions and has even led to the deaths of innocent people and first responders. In New York city alone, these batteries have caused 850 fires since 2021, resulting in more than 450 injuries and 34 tragic deaths. Just this year, 279 immobility fires have been reported already – a staggering increase from 44 in 2020. This problem isn't just limited to New York. Across the country, families have been left homeless and first responders put in danger by low quality batteries powering many of these e-bikes and. shooters. HR 973, the Setting Consumer Standards for Lithium-Ion Batteries Act, sponsored by my colleague Representative Richie Torres, is a commonsense solution that will set clear safety standards for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries used in immobility devices, ensuring that only safe tested products reach American consumers.” ###

WASHINGTON, D.C.  –  Today, the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, led by Chairman Brett Guthrie (KY-02), will mark up 26 bills, including H.R. 2483, the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Reauthorization Act of 2025. This bipartisan legislation, which is co-led by Chairman Guthrie and Congresswoman Brittany Pettersen (CO-07), has received widespread support from over 160 vital substance use disorder treatment and recovery organizations. Here’s what they’re saying: “The state of behavioral health in America remains a national crisis, with millions of people across the nation experiencing an SUD and 1 in 5 Americans experiencing an MH condition each year,” said Debbie Witchey, MHA, President and CEO of Association for Behavioral Health and Wellness (ABHW). “The SUPPORT Act is critical to effectively addressing SUDs and co-occurring MH conditions. Its policies and provisions will continue to embrace prevention, treatment, and a pathway to recovery.” “Last month, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a nearly 24% decline in drug overdose deaths from September 2023 through September 2024. The number of overdose deaths during this 12-month period was the lowest since June 2020,” said Advocates for Opioid Addiction Treatment (AOAT). “Without question, the bipartisan SUPPORT Act of 2018, which expanded access to treatment and began addressing treatment workforce shortages played a critical role in reversing the tragic and deadly overdose trend and saving lives.”  “Overdose rates are beginning to drop slightly, and we firmly believe that our investment in recovery support services is a major reason why. The SUPPORT Act gave rise to the Building Communities of Recovery Program, which seeks to mobilize and connect a broad array of community-based resources for persons with substance use disorders (SUD) and co-occurring substance use and mental disorders (COD),” said Patty McCarthy, CEO of Faces & Voices of Recovery. “You have our full-throated support for the passage of this legislation, and we look forward to your continued commitment to the advancement of SUD treatment and recovery.”  Background:  H.R. 2483, the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Reauthorization Act of 2025 reauthorizes key public health programs focused on prevention, treatment, and recovery for patients with substance use disorder that were established in the Substance Use-Disorder Prevention that Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment (SUPPORT) for Patients and Communities Act, which was signed into law in 2018.

WASHINGTON, D.C.  – Congressman Brett Guthrie (KY-02), Chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, delivered the following opening statement at today’s full committee markup. Chairman Guthrie's opening statement as prepared for delivery: “Thank you all for being here today for this markup as we look to advance legislation affecting Americans in the most personal ways. From reauthorizing key programs addressing substance use disorder, to protecting Americans online from sexual exploitation, the Committee on Energy and Commerce is working to address the biggest issues facing our country and our constituents. “Every bill we are considering today is bipartisan, and in many cases members of this Committee have been working together on them over several Congresses. Every bill today either passed out of the Committee unanimously and through the House last year with strong bipartisan votes or were negotiated and agreed upon on a bipartisan, bicameral basis at the end of last year. Every single bill we are considering had bipartisan agreement last Congress, and I am hope we can pick up where we left off to move them all forward today. “Earlier this Congress, Ranking Member Pallone and I testified before the House Administration Committee to talk about our Committee budget, and I really appreciate what the Ranking Member said at that hearing about some of the legislation we are considering today. “He said, 'While we were not able to get these bipartisan bills and provisions signed into law last Congress, I know that we are committed to getting them done this Congress.' “I am glad to report that we are moving those bills forward because they make our country stronger, and we need to pass this critical legislation.  “In particular, we will advance health care legislation to lower costs for patients, support cancer research, and address substance use disorder.  “I’m thankful to all of my colleagues who have supported this legislation to increase access to care for patients and their families.  “Today, we also have an opportunity to advance multiple bills that will strengthen our communications infrastructure and better prevent attacks from our adversaries, who are continually seeking to compromise our critical infrastructure. These bills will help fortify our networks against their threats.  “While technological leadership is critically important to our national security and economic prosperity, as a father and grandfather, I am extremely concerned by the stories we are all hearing from parents about the potential unintended consequences of new technologies.   “From protecting Americans from romance scams to increasing price transparency in ticketing and lodging, today should be a chance to celebrate bipartisan wins that serve our constituents.   “I am still hopeful that we can make progress soon on some of the other bills I have discussed with my friends across the aisle, but nonetheless, we are marking up some outstanding legislation today, and I want to thank all of our sponsors for their hard work getting us to this point.  “I always say the work we do here in the House affects people in their homes. This legislation makes American homes safer, healthier, and more prosperous.   “Thank you all for your hard work, and I look forward to advancing this legislation out of Committee.” ###
