Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
-
Expanded Participation for Educational Entities: By adding "a consortium of local educational agencies" to the language in Section 2(1)(A)(i)(I), the bill allows for broader collaboration among local educational agencies.
-
Expanded Scope for Schools: The change from "high schools" to "secondary schools" in Section 2(1)(A)(i)(I) broadens the scope of the initiative to include all secondary schools as defined by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965.
-
Increased Focus on Substance Misuse Risk: Section 2(2)(A) replaces the phrase "and abuse" with "at increased risk for substance misuse," which shifts the focus toward identifying specific populations at higher risk.
-
Updated Support Terminology: In Section 2(3)(B), the term "peer mentoring" is replaced with "peer-to-peer support."
-
Long-term Sustainability Planning: Section 2(5)(A)(B) adds a requirement for a plan to sustain activities after the grant program has ended, which could help ensure the longevity of the initiatives.
-
Increased Funding Authorization: Section 2(7) authorizes specific annual appropriations starting at $10,000,000 for fiscal year 2026 and increasing each year up to $15,000,000 for fiscal year 2030.
