Show full summary
- First responders and communities: Training would cover overdoses from a wider set of drugs and response products instead of focusing only on opioids.
- Tribal entities: The text normalizes capitalization to "Tribes and Tribal" to standardize how Tribal organizations are referenced.
- Federal funding: Authorized funding would increase from $36.0 million per year for 2019–2023 to $57.0 million per year for 2026–2030.
*This would raise authorized federal spending for the program going forward compared with prior levels.*

More overdose training for first responders
If enacted, the bill would raise the program's authorized funding to $57 million per year. This applies for each fiscal year 2026–2030. It would replace the prior $36 million per year authorization for fiscal years 2019–2023. The bill would broaden training to cover overdoses from more drugs, not just opioids. It would let programs reference products that are approved, cleared, or otherwise legally marketed. Actual grants would still depend on future appropriations. Changes would take effect upon enactment.
