Bill > HR6902

This bill, titled the "Youth Substance Use Prevention and Awareness Act," aims to combat youth substance use by expanding an existing grant program. Specifically, it amends Section 3021(a) of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to allow grants to be used for developing, implementing, or expanding research-based public service announcement (PSA) campaigns targeted at preventing substance use among young people. These campaigns would utilize age-appropriate materials and could include various media like television, radio, print, outdoor advertising, and digital platforms, as well as PSA contests where youth can submit their own work. Furthermore, the bill mandates that the Attorney General will publish an annual report detailing grants awarded for these PSA campaigns, including information on the campaign's description, the research behind it, any specific regional messaging, how it supports other prevention efforts, and an evaluation of its effectiveness in reducing youth drug use.
