What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "NOPAIN for Veterans Act," aims to amend title 38 of the United States Code. It focuses on ensuring the Secretary of Veterans Affairs includes certain non-opioid pain medications in the Department's national formulary. Specifically, it targets drugs or biological products approved by the FDA to reduce postoperative pain or produce regional analgesia without acting on opioid receptors. The Secretary must include these products in the national formulary and the drug standardization list within specific timeframes. Furthermore, the bill prohibits using funds from the Cost of War Toxic Exposures Fund for these amendments.
