Show full summary
- HIDTAs and local law enforcement: Would receive a set funding authorization of $400 million each year for FY2026–FY2031 and adjustments to existing program language to accommodate the new funding paragraph.
- Office of National Drug Control Policy: Directs the ONDCP Director to review identified "promising practices," decide which ones could improve HIDTA efficiency, develop those practices for HIDTA use, and promulgate them starting in FY2026. The reviews must cover identifying and investigating entities tied to fatal overdoses, information sharing for drug and firearm crimes, and implementing and evaluating evidence‑based substance use disorder prevention.
- State, Tribal, territorial, and local partners: Would get standardized, developed practices from ONDCP to improve coordination, investigations, and adoption of evaluated prevention strategies across HIDTAs.
*This bill would authorize $400 million each year for FY2026–FY2031, increasing federal spending by about $2.4 billion over that period.*
