What this bill does
In plain words · AI-written from the official summaryFunds school partnerships to prevent youth drug use
This bill lets the Office of National Drug Control Policy give out grants to coalitions that work with schools to prevent and reduce substance use among young people. To qualify for the money, a coalition needs to be part of an existing drug prevention program and have a formal agreement with at least one local school to work together on this issue.
How it affects you
If you live in a community with one of these coalitions and schools, your local schools and community groups could receive funding to run drug prevention programs for young people. Parents and students in those areas might see new or expanded prevention activities, though the bill doesn't specify exactly what those programs would look like.
