What this bill would do

This bill is known as the Having Overdose Protection Equipment Act or the HOPE Act. It amends the 21st Century Cures Act. The legislation clarifies how certain grants given to States and Tribes for responding to opioid use disorders can be spent. Specifically, the grant money can now be used for activities related to public access opioid overdose reversal kits. These kits include the reversal medication along with instructions on how to give it.
