- Applicants and Tribal provisions: Local educational agencies and consortia of agencies could apply for grants, and the bill aligns "Tribe" and "Tribal organization" definitions with the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act.
- Grants and funding: Grantees would have to include a plan to sustain activities after grants end, and the bill authorizes $64 million total across FY2026–2030, with annual funding rising from $10 million to $15 million.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Grant funding for youth programs
If enacted, the bill would authorize money for the Youth Prevention and Recovery Initiative. It would authorize $10 million for FY2026 and $12 million for FY2027. It would authorize $13 million for FY2028, $14 million for FY2029, and $15 million for FY2030. Congress would still need to actually appropriate the money.
More schools and districts eligible
If enacted, the bill would let a consortium of local school districts apply for grants, not just a single district. It would replace the term "high schools" with the broader ESEA definition of "secondary schools." It would expand program language to cover youth "at increased risk for substance misuse." It would align tribal terms to the Indian Self-Determination Act and change "peer mentoring" wording to "peer-to-peer support."
Grantees must show sustainability plans
If enacted, the bill would require grant applicants to include a plan to sustain activities after the grant ends. This would add application work for grantees but aims to keep services running longer for youth.
