Legislative Progress
Programs that fight drug addiction often have support from both parties. However, this bill is in the very early stages and must pass through several committees before it can become law.
Key Points
- This bill continues a federal program that helps schools and local groups prevent drug use and help young people recover from addiction. It sets aside a total of 64 million dollars in funding over the next five years.
- The plan expands who can get help. It allows groups of school districts to work together and opens the program to all secondary schools, not just high schools. This means younger students in middle school could benefit from these services.
- Schools and groups applying for these grants would now need to show a plan for how they will keep their programs running after the federal money runs out. This helps ensure that support for students lasts for a long time.
- The bill updates the language to focus on peer-to-peer support and helping students who are at a higher risk for drug issues. It also makes sure that Native American Tribes and Tribal organizations are clearly included in the program.
