Bill > S3006

This bill amends the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act to reauthorize and modify the youth prevention and recovery initiative through several key changes. The bill expands eligibility for grant programs by allowing consortiums of local educational agencies to apply and clarifies terminology, such as changing "high schools" to "secondary schools" and standardizing capitalization of terms like "Indian Tribe" and "Tribal organization". The bill modifies language around substance misuse prevention, adding a requirement for grant recipients to develop a sustainability plan for their activities after the grant program ends. It also extends the authorization of the program through fiscal year 2028 and increases funding incrementally from $10 million in fiscal year 2026 to $15 million in fiscal year 2030. The changes aim to improve substance misuse prevention and recovery efforts targeting youth, with a particular focus on supporting local educational agencies and Tribal organizations in developing comprehensive prevention and support strategies.
