AI Summary

This bill reauthorizes and expands a grant program for State and Tribal response to opioid and stimulant use and misuse. It ensures that each State receives at least $12 million and gives preference to States, Indian Tribes, Tribal organizations, and Urban Indian organizations with higher incidence or prevalence of opioid use disorder or more rural areas. The bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to develop a formula methodology for allocating grant funds and provides for a 2-year transition period for any new formula that would significantly reduce a State's allocation. The bill also authorizes $2.7 billion in annual appropriations for the grant program from fiscal years 2023 through 2027.
