https://downhomenc.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Pass-the-MAT-Act-Better-World-1.png20001000Over the last two years, we have built strong bipartisan support for the MAT Act and were able to move it through the House in June 2022. It stalled in the Senate, but we are now pushing for it to be included in the end of year omnibus spending bill. We’ve gotten a commitment from Sen. Schumer to include it and now need to make sure that all our members of Congress are pushing equally as hard for it to be included.
