(For additional information on each section of this act, see CRS Report R48864.)TITLE I--PREVENTION(Sec. 101) This section reauthorizes through FY2030 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) programs that provide information, grants, and technical assistance relating to studying and preventing prenatal and postnatal substance use disorders.(Sec. 102) This section reauthorizes through FY2030 CDC programs that carry out and provide grants for surveillance, treatment, and education relating to infections associated with illicit drug use.(Sec. 103) This section reauthorizes through FY2030 and expands CDC programs that carry out activities and provide grants relating to monitoring drug use and overdoses (e.g., supporting state prescription drug monitoring programs), preventing and responding to substance use disorders, and raising awareness regarding opioids and other substances. The section authorizes additional activities, including wastewater surveillance and collecting data on risk factors associated with overdoses.(Sec. 104) This section reestablishes, expands, and provides statutory authority for Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) activities addressing fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (i.e., conditions caused by prenatal alcohol exposure), including carrying out and providing grants for research, education and public awareness, and intervention and support services for affected individuals.(Sec. 105) This section specifies that, in providing grants to support state prescription drug monitoring programs, the CDC is not authorized to require states to use specific vendors or interoperability systems other than to align with general, consensus-based standards for interoperability. (Sec. 106) This section reauthorizes through FY2030 and expands grants to government entities to provide first responders with opioid overdose reversal drugs (e.g., naloxone) and related training. The grant program is administered by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).The section expands the program to include (1) treatment and training for overdoses from other drugs besides opioids, and (2) treatment with drugs or devices that are legally marketed under applicable law. Current law limits the program to addressing opioid overdoses and to drugs or devices that are officially approved or cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).(Sec. 107) This section reauthorizes through FY2030 and revises the National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative and related activities, which are administered by SAMHSA. Under the initiative, SAMHSA provides grants and other support to improve the quality of and increase access to services addressing psychological trauma in youth and families. The section requires grant recipients to develop training and other resources for collaborative implementation of best practices.(Sec. 108) This section requires SAMHSA to undertake efforts to protect the 9-8-8 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline from cybersecurity threats. (The lifeline is a three-digit number that connects callers in suicidal crisis or mental health distress to a national network of crisis centers.) The section includes requirements for the lifeline’s network administrator and participating local and regional crisis centers to report identified cybersecurity incidents and vulnerabilities.The Government Accountability Office must conduct a study that evaluates cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities associated with the lifeline and report the findings to Congress.(Sec. 109) This section reauthorizes through FY2030 CDC activities to collect and report certain public health data relating to potentially traumatic childhood experiences.(Sec. 110) This section reauthorizes through FY2030 an interdepartmental committee on substance use disorders, establishes an interagency work group on fentanyl contamination of illegal drugs, and expands certain SAMHSA activities to include supporting strategies to raise awareness about the dangers of synthetic opioids for youth.(Sec. 111) This section requires HHS to publish guidance regarding at-home safe drug disposal systems.(Sec. 112) This section requires HHS to publish a plan for assessing approved opioid analgesic drugs (i.e., opioid pain relievers) that addresses the public health effects of these drugs, including updates on actions by the FDA with respect to risk-benefit assessments and supporting development and approval of nonaddictive medical products. HHS must provide an opportunity for public input on the FDA’s regulation of opioid analgesic drugs.(Sec. 113) This section provides statutory authority for SAMHSA’s State Opioid Response and Tribal Opioid Response Grants to be used for facilitating access to drug checking technologies, such as fentanyl and xylazine test strips, to the extent permitted by federal and state law.TITLE II--TREATMENT(Sec. 201) This section reauthorizes through FY2030 the Residential Treatment for Pregnant and Postpartum Women program, which is administered by the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment within SAMHSA. This program awards grants to fund services for pregnant and postpartum women with substance use disorders, including services for treatment, recovery support, and case management. The section also specifically allows grant recipients to conduct outreach that is targeted at women disproportionately impacted by maternal substance use disorders.(Sec. 202) This section provides statutory authority for the Minority Fellowship Program to include fellowships for training in the field of addiction medicine. The Minority Fellowship Program, administered by SAMHSA, funds fellowships for individuals seeking graduate degrees and planning to work on addressing mental or substance use disorders in racial and ethnic minority populations.(Sec. 203) This section reauthorizes through FY2030 the Behavioral Health Workforce Education and Training Program for Professionals, which is administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). This program provides grants to educational organizations and programs to recruit and educate students in mental and behavioral health.(Sec. 204) This section reauthorizes through FY2030 the Substance Use Disorder Treatment and Recovery Loan Repayment Program, which is administered by HRSA. This program provides repayment of educational loans for health care practitioners who agree to provide direct treatment or recovery support for substance use disorders in certain areas with shortages of health professionals or high rates of overdose.(Sec. 206) This section reauthorizes through FY2030 and expands an interagency task force that must develop recommendations relating to (1) best practices for preventing and mitigating trauma in youth and (2) coordinating the federal response to families impacted by substance use disorders and other trauma.(Sec. 208) This section requires SAMHSA to conduct a review of how states use funds under the Community Mental Health Services Block Grant program to address first episode psychosis, including the use of evidence-based services for individuals with early serious mental illness and children with serious emotional disturbance. SAMHSA must report to Congress on the findings of the review and update the guidance for the block grant program based on such findings.(Sec. 209) This section requires HHS to review relevant data and, if determined appropriate, request that the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) revise the scheduling of approved products containing a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone under the Controlled Substances Act. The DEA must review such requests and determine whether to revise the schedules.(Sec. 210) This section requires that, when HHS issues new regulations or guidance on grant programs addressing opioid use disorders, references to an opioid overdose reversal drug (e.g., naloxone) must broadly include any opioid overdose reversal drug approved by the FDA.Within one year after the act’s enactment, HHS must update all references accordingly in regulations or guidance issued prior to the act’s enactment that are applicable to State Opioid Response Grants, Tribal Opioid Response Grants, or certain other grants relating to substance use disorder prevention.(Sec. 211) This section requires HHS to convene a public roundtable with public and private stakeholders on expanding the use of electronic health records among mental health and substance use disorder service providers. HHS must report to Congress on the results of the roundtable with respect to specified topics.TITLE III--RECOVERY(Sec. 301) This section reauthorizes through FY2030 the Building Communities of Recovery program, which is administered by the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment within SAMHSA. This program provides grants to certain community nonprofit organizations for developing and delivering coordinated community and statewide recovery support services for individuals with substance use disorders.(Sec. 302) This section reauthorizes through FY2030 and expands the National Peer-Run Training and Technical Assistance Center for Addiction Recovery Support, which is administered by SAMHSA. The center provides training and resources to public and private nonprofit entities relating to recovery support services for substance use disorders and co-occurring conditions (i.e., mental health conditions coexisting with substance use disorders).The section expands the center's functions to include professional development of peer support specialists and recovery support services in nonclinical settings. It also authorizes through FY2030 a regional technical assistance center to support the ability of the center to meet a particular region's needs.(Sec. 303) This section reauthorizes through FY2030 grants to nonprofits for establishing or operating opioid recovery centers providing comprehensive treatment and recovery support services. The grant program is administered by SAMHSA.(Sec. 304) This section reauthorizes through FY2030 and revises the Preventing Youth Overdose: Treatment, Recovery, Education, Awareness, and Training (PYO-TREAT) program, which is administered by SAMHSA.
