Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Stronger school steps to prevent fentanyl
Schools would need to plan with parents and health officials to prevent synthetic opioid misuse. States would support districts, and all school staff would get training on fentanyl prevention and response. Up to 25 partnerships could get three-year grants for lessons, staff training, workshops, outreach, and peer counseling. Grantees would post program details online and share materials with families in accessible formats. School health centers could use federal funds to buy naloxone and run prevention programs. Congress could fund the pilot for fiscal years 2026 through 2028; up to 5% could fund evaluation and help.
Federal plan and data on youth fentanyl
HHS would set up a task force within 90 days to prevent youth opioid misuse and overdose. It would include federal officials and some parents, and would issue reports and a national plan. School safety data would start asking about access to synthetic opioids upon enactment. Starting January 1, 2026, two national youth surveys would add related questions. CDC would review a state overdose reporting system and report to Congress within 180 days after the review. Congress could fund the CDC evaluation for fiscal year 2026.
