CURE Act

House Votes

This bill tightens how federal opioid treatment grants are tracked and reported, so money reaches the right places and results are clearer. States that get these grants must use a single, standardized system to report how funds were spent, who got the money (including names, locations, and taxpayer ID numbers of subgrantees), and how many people were helped. The federal health agency must, when possible, use existing government grant-tracking tools to avoid duplicate work. Congress must also get more detailed reports that list each grant recipient and subrecipient and how much funding each received. These changes start 180 days after the law takes effect.

Key points:

• Who is affected: States receiving opioid use disorder grants, their subgrantees (like clinics and local programs), and the federal agency overseeing the grants.
• What changes: Quarterly reporting through a standard system; detailed tracking of spending, recipients, and number of people served; use of existing federal systems; more complete reports to Congress naming each recipient and their funding level.
• When: New requirements begin 180 days after enactment.
