This bill aims to make it easier for people with addiction or serious mental illness to stay on treatment by supporting long-acting shot medicines. It lets federal health grants pay for access to FDA‑approved long-acting injections, the lab tests and counseling that go with them, and training for providers on how to use these medicines in care. It also requires yearly reports on how well the program is helping people stick with treatment and make progress, based on clinician assessments.

Key points:

• Who is affected: People with substance use disorders or serious mental illness; clinics and providers that treat them.
• What changes: Grants can cover long-acting injectable medications, related lab testing, supportive counseling, and provider training; the health department must report results each year.
• When: These changes apply to grants made after the law takes effect; the first report is due within one year, then annually.
