Bill > S1611

This bill expands an existing grant program administered by the Attorney General to support public service announcement (PSA) campaigns focused on preventing youth substance use. Specifically, the bill allows grants to be used for developing and implementing research-based PSA campaigns that target youth, including television, radio, print, outdoor, and digital announcements, as well as PSA contests that invite youth to create their own submissions. The bill also requires the Attorney General to publish an annual report for each funded PSA campaign, detailing the grant specifics, research used, regional messaging, how the campaign supports broader substance use prevention strategies, and an evaluation of the campaign's effectiveness in reducing youth drug use. The legislation builds upon the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 by adding this new grant category to support youth substance use prevention efforts through targeted awareness campaigns.
