The bill lets the Department of Labor collect and share best ways to help workers. It creates grants for states and local areas to pay for training programs. These programs teach drug treatment, mental health care, and pain management. The grants go to areas hit hard by overdoses and drug use.
Who it affects
States and local areas get federal money to run job training and treatment programs. Healthcare workers and people seeking jobs in drug treatment are affected.
One thing to notice
