Bill expands federal money for drug crisis help through 2030.

What it does

This bill gives more money to programs that stop drug problems. It pays for teaching people about fentanyl and helping pregnant women get treatment. It pays workers in drug medicine. The bill starts new work on security for suicide hotlines. It also funds services for kids with fetal alcohol spectrum issues.

Who it affects

States, tribes, and local groups that run health programs get more money. Nonprofits that help people with drug problems and mental health issues get funding. Pregnant women, young people, and people with drug use issues get more help.

One thing to notice

Many parts ask for reports and studies but do not require action. One peer support program is a test that ends in 2030. It uses money on hand, not new money.
