WHAT THE BILL DOES
AI-writtenVoters should care about this bill because it addresses the ongoing challenge of youth substance use, which can have significant long-term impacts on individuals, families, and communities. If this bill becomes law, it will provide dedicated funding to strengthen existing community-school partnerships, allowing them to implement targeted prevention strategies.
This means more resources would be available at the local level to educate young people about the dangers of drugs, offer healthier alternatives, and support those at risk. Without this bill, these specific prevention programs might lack the funding to expand or even start, potentially leaving gaps in efforts to protect youth from substance misuse.
KEY PROVISIONS
5AI-extractedPROVISION 01
Establishes a new grant program to fund school-community partnerships for drug prevention among youth.
This creates a direct funding stream for collaborative drug prevention efforts between schools and community groups.
PROVISION 02
Grants are awarded to existing "Drug-Free Communities funded coalitions" that partner with local schools.
This leverages established community prevention networks and their existing relationships to address youth substance use.
PROVISION 03
Limits grant amounts to $75,000 per year for an initial year and up to three renewal years.
This provides sustained, but capped, funding to support ongoing prevention programs rather than one-time efforts.
PROVISION 04
Requires funds to supplement, not replace, other federal and non-federal drug prevention funding.
This ensures the new grants add to, rather than merely substitute for, existing resources.
PROVISION 05
Authorizes $7,000,000 to be appropriated annually for fiscal years 2026 through 2031.
This sets the financial framework for the program's operation over a six-year period.
