Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Updates and extends existing federal grant and demonstration programs that support people returning from incarceration, substance use treatment, correctional education, and career training. It adds explicit reentry services — including substance use disorder treatment and housing assistance — to state and local reentry demonstration projects and pushes multiple program authorization end dates from the prior 2019–2023 window out to 2026–2030.
The change is primarily an authorization update that preserves and broadens program scope (by naming specific reentry services) so states, localities, and service providers can continue applying for and operating these demonstrations and grants under the extended authorization period.
