AI Summary
This bill provides funding to the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) for addiction prevention efforts, allocating an unspecified amount of money from the General Fund to be distributed to local health departments and federally recognized Indian tribes in Oregon. The funding is specifically intended to establish or expand primary prevention programs for addiction, which can be implemented either through existing state guidelines (ORS 431.144) or based on traditional tribal knowledge. The bill includes an emergency clause, which means it will take effect immediately on July 1, 2025, highlighting the urgent nature of addressing substance abuse prevention in the state. By allowing both local health departments and tribal organizations to access these funds, the legislation aims to create a comprehensive and culturally sensitive approach to preventing addiction across different communities in Oregon.
