facilitate the--
            (1) identification and compilation of evidence-informed
        recommendations for physicians, nurses, and hospital facilities
        with respect to neonatal abstinence syndrome; and
            (2) identification of any gaps, as appropriate, in such
        evidence-informed recommendations that may require additional
        research or analysis with respect to--
                    (A) screening and intervention for maternal
                substance abuse, including the misuse or abuse of
                prescription drugs in women of childbearing age and

                    (B) treatment for pregnant and postpartum women
                with a substance use disorder, including the misuse or
                abuse of prescription drugs;
                    (C) screening of infants for neonatal abstinence
                syndrome and for the risk of developing neonatal
                abstinence syndrome;
                    (D) treatment for infants with neonatal abstinence
                syndrome, including evidence-informed recommendations
                surrounding evaluation and treatment with
                pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions;
                and
                    (E) ongoing treatment, services, and supports for
                postpartum women with a substance use disorder,
                including misuse or abuse of prescription drugs, and
                infants and children with neonatal abstinence syndrome.
    (b) Input.--In carrying out subsection (a), the Secretary shall
consider input from stakeholders, such as health professionals, public
health officials, and law enforcement.
    (c) Dissemination of Information.--The Secretary shall disseminate
to appropriate stakeholders in States and local communities the
evidence-informed recommendations identified under subsection (a).
    (d) Addressing Research Needs for Maternal Addiction and Neonatal
Abstinence Syndrome.--The Secretary shall conduct a study to evaluate--
            (1) factors related to the increased prevalence of maternal
        opiate misuse and abuse;
            (2) factors related to maternal misuse and abuse of
        opiates, including--
                    (A) barriers to identifying and treating maternal
                misuse and abuse of opiates; and
                    (B) the most effective prevention and treatment
                strategies for pregnant women and other women of
                childbearing age who are at risk for or dependent on
                opiates; and
            (3) factors related to neonatal abstinence syndrome,
        including--
                    (A) epidemiological studies concerning neonatal
                abstinence syndrome;
                    (B) the most effective methods to diagnose and
                treat neonatal abstinence syndrome; and
                    (C) the long-term effects of neonatal abstinence
                syndrome and the need for a longer-term study on
                infants and children at risk for developing neonatal
                abstinence syndrome or diagnosed with neonatal
                abstinence syndrome.
    (e) Report.--Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of
this Act, the Secretary shall provide to the Committee on Health,
Education, Labor, and Pensions of the Senate and the Committee on
Energy and Commerce of the House of Representatives the findings from
the study under subsection (d) and a report that identifies the gaps in
evidence-informed recommendations that require additional research or
analysis, and priority areas for additional research.

SEC. 3. IMPROVING DATA ON NEONATAL ABSTINENCE SYNDROME.

    The Secretary of Health and Human Services, acting through the
Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, shall
provide technical assistance to States to improve the availability and
quality of data collection and surveillance activities regarding
neonatal abstinence syndrome, including--
            (1) incidence and prevalence of neonatal abstinence
        syndrome;
            (2) the identification of causes for neonatal abstinence
        syndrome, including new and emerging trends; and
            (3) the identification of demographics and other relevant
        information associated with neonatal abstinence syndrome.

SEC. 4. PAIN MANAGEMENT ALTERNATIVES.

    It is the sense of Congress that the Director of the National
Institutes of Health should continue research with respect to pain
management, including for women of childbearing age.

SEC. 5. GAO STUDY.

    Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this Act, the
Comptroller General of the United States shall conduct a study
evaluating--
            (1) the availability and effectiveness of federally
        facilitated substance abuse treatment programs for pregnant
        women and their children;
            (2) the availability and effectiveness of Federal programs
        that encourage State adoption and implementation of programs to
        ensure--
                    (A) the safety and health of mothers who have a
                substance use disorder; and
                    (B) the safety and health of children with neonatal
                abstinence syndrome;
            (3) the effectiveness of Federal data systems and
        surveillance programs used to monitor or track drug utilization
        and resulting trends, including whether information on neonatal
        abstinence syndrome is incorporated into such data systems; and
            (4) the identification of the use of all discretionary
        funds to address maternal substance abuse, including the misuse
        and abuse of prescription drugs.

Output: Protecting Our Infants Act of 2014 - Requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to study maternal opiate abuse and neonatal abstinence syndrome, identify gaps in evidence-informed recommendations for health care professionals and facilities regarding neonatal abstinence syndrome, and identify priority areas for additional research. Requires the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to assist states in collecting data on neonatal abstinence syndrome, including incidence, causes, and demographics. Directs the Comptroller General (GAO) to evaluate the effectiveness of federal activities regarding substance abuse treatment for pregnant women and their children.

Output: Protecting Employees and Retirees in Municipal Bankruptcies Act of 2017 This bill amends federal bankruptcy law to: (1) heighten criteria with respect to a municipality's eligibility for municipal bankruptcy, and (2) revise provisions related to judicial procedure and review in municipality bankruptcy cases. In addition, the bill expands protections for employees and retirees in cases of municipal bankruptcy. Specifically, if a municipal bankruptcy plan modifies a collective bargaining agreement or retiree benefit, the covered employees' authorized representative must agree to the plan as a condition of the plan's confirmation by the court.  In general, the authorized representative shall be the labor organization that is signatory to the collective bargaining agreement. However, the bill establishes procedures for the court's appointment of a different representative under specified circumstances.
