Summary

Updates definitions in an existing opioid/substance-use grant provision, adds a formal definition for “secondary school,” requires grant recipients to include a plan to sustain program activities after grant funding ends, and authorizes specific annual funding levels for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. The changes increase clarity about covered settings (including secondary schools) and add a sustainability requirement for grantees while leaving actual funding subject to future appropriations.

Key Points

• Adds a formal definition of “secondary school” to the covered grant authority.
• Updates wording and definitions in the existing SUPPORT Act grant provision to clarify scope.
• Requires all grant recipients to submit a plan to sustain activities after federal grant funding ends.
• Authorizes specific annual funding amounts for fiscal years 2026 through 2030.
• Authorization sets funding ceilings but does not appropriate money; actual funding requires separate appropriations.
• Likely affects state/local governments, school systems, nonprofits, and community-based program providers.
• Imposes a modest new administrative requirement on applicants (sustainability plan) to improve program continuity.
