HOPE Act

This bill makes it clear that existing federal grants for State and Tribal responses to the opioid crisis can be used to support public access opioid overdose reversal kits. It also defines what those kits are: they must include an opioid overdose reversal medicine and simple instructions on how to use it.

Key points:

• Who is affected: State and Tribal programs working to address opioid use.
• What changes: These programs can use their grant funds for activities related to public access overdose reversal kits, which include the medicine and directions.
• Why it matters: Makes it easier to place and support life‑saving overdose kits in community settings.
