S. 2540: Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Justice Grant Reauthorization Act

This bill, known as the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Justice Grant Reauthorization Act, aims to update funding provisions related to the Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Grant Program, which is overseen by the U.S. Department of Justice. Specifically, it seeks to extend the authorization for this grant program to cover the years 2026 through 2030. The bill removes the previous funding limit of $103 million for each of the years 2017 and 2018 and amends the timeline to ensure continued financial support for efforts to combat opioid addiction and abuse.

Additionally, the bill supports initiatives focused on enhancing prevention, treatment, and recovery services for individuals affected by opioid addiction. It emphasizes the importance of federal funding in aiding state and local programs that address the opioid crisis, highlighting the ongoing need for resources to support these critical services.

By reauthorizing this program, the bill aims to ensure that states and communities continue to receive support to develop strategies for tackling the challenges of opioid addiction, ultimately working towards the improvement of public health and safety related to substance use disorders.
