Washington, D.C. – Congressman Tim Walberg (MI-07) today introduced "Jessie's Law," a bipartisan bill named after Michigan resident Jessie Grubb who tragically died earlier this year of an opioid overdose. Jessie's Law would help ensure doctors have access to a consenting patient's prior history of addiction in order to make fully informed care and treatment decisions. Providing this information would help prevent cases like Jessie's, where a recovering addict in Ann Arbor was unknowingly prescribed and discharged with a powerful opioid that led to her death.

The service provides an opportunity for citizens to safely and securely dispose of their expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs at an authorized disposal site in their community.
The measure authorizes spending $300 million annually on the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, although separate votes would be needed each year to provide the funding.

H.R. 5042, the Federal Prisons Accountability Act, would require the Director of the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to receive a presidential appointment and a confirmation by the U.S. Senate, as is the case for nearly all other top federal law enforcement agency officials. Currently, the Director of BOP is appointed by the Attorney General and not subject to Senate approval.
