What this bill would do
The ATTAIN Mental Health Act aims to create an interactive online dashboard to improve public access to information regarding Federal grants for mental health and substance use disorder programs. The Secretary of Health and Human Services is required to establish and operate this internet-based website within two years of the Act's enactment. This dashboard will provide details on grant programs, application statuses, and relevant identification information to assist potential applicants. The design of the website must comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Additionally, the Secretary may consult with various government agencies, Indian Tribes, and other entities to shape the dashboard's features.
