Title I of the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of 2016 ( Public Law 114–198 ) is amended by inserting after section 103 ( 21 U.S.C. 1536 ) the following: The Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy (referred to in this section as the Director ), in coordination with the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, may make grants to eligible entities to implement education of the public on the dangers of contamination of drugs with fentanyl or other synthetic opioids.
An eligible entity seeking a grant under this section shall submit an application to the Director at such time, in such manner, and accompanied by such information as the Director may require. As part of an application for a grant under this section, the Director shall require an eligible entity to submit a detailed, comprehensive, multisector plan for addressing the implementation of an evidence-based public education campaign on the dangers of drugs contaminated with fentanyl or other synthetic opioids, with a specific consideration given to education focused on youth at increased risk for developing a substance use disorder.
For purposes of this section, the term eligible entity means an entity that— has documented, using local data, rates of drug overdose related to fentanyl or other synthetic opioids at levels that are significant, as determined by the Director; and has received a grant under the Drug-Free Communities Act of 1997. An eligible entity shall use a grant received under this section— for programs designed to implement comprehensive community-wide prevention strategies to address the dangers of drugs contaminated with fentanyl or other synthetic opioids, in the area served by the eligible entity, in accordance with the plan submitted under subsection (b)(2); to obtain specialized training and technical assistance from the organization funded under section 4 of Public Law 107–82 ( 21 U.S.C. 1521 note); and for programs designed to implement comprehensive community-wide strategies to address the dangers of drugs contaminated with fentanyl or other synthetic opioids in the community.
An eligible entity shall use Federal funds received under this section only to supplement the funds that would, in the absence of those Federal funds, be made available from other Federal and non-Federal sources for the activities described in this section, and not to supplant those funds. A grant under this section shall be subject to the same evaluation requirements and procedures as the evaluation requirements and procedures imposed on the recipient of a grant under the Drug-Free Communities Act of 1997, and shall also include an evaluation of the effectiveness at reducing the use of illicit fentanyl or other synthetic opioids.
Not more than 12 percent of the amounts made available to carry out this section for a fiscal year may be used to pay for administrative expenses. The Director may enter into an interagency agreement with the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to delegate authority for the execution of grants and for such other activities, as the Director determines necessary to carry out this section. In this section, the term drug has the meaning given such term in section 102A.
For the purpose of carrying out this section, there are authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary for each of fiscal years 2024 through 2028. .
