For years, Rogers has been a strong advocate for the establishment of PDMPs in every state
Advocate for the establishment of prescription drug monitoring programs in every state.
Occurrences
Evidence
The conference agreement includes $7,500,000 to expand the Harold Rogers Prescription Drug Monitoring Program, and the conferees encourage States to develop systems that allow bordering States to share information.
Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs (PDMPs) are active in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the territories of Puerto Rico and Guam.
Assessments
The promised outcome was advocacy for PDMP establishment in every state, not sole enactment. PDMPs are now active in all 50 states, DC, Puerto Rico, and Guam. Rogers also receives meaningful candidate credit because federal appropriations explicitly expanded the Harold Rogers Prescription Drug Monitoring Program and encouraged state development and interstate information sharing. Because nationwide completion occurred after the earlier federal support record and across later state/federal implementation cycles, timing is best classified as later_term.
