Bill > S2796

This bill, the Rural Opioid Abuse Prevention Act, amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to make rural community response pilot programs eligible for funding under the Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Grant Program. The bill establishes a new grant program that will provide funding to rural areas to implement community response programs focused on reducing opioid overdose deaths. These programs must be jointly operated by local government units, public safety agencies, and public health or behavioral health agencies. The bill also provides an incentive for rural areas to participate in prescription drug monitoring programs by increasing grant amounts for those that do so.
