## Summary

**Reauthorizes $103 million per year for the Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Grant Program for fiscal years 2026–2030.** This bill would replace the prior authorized years and shift the program's authorization window without changing how the program operates. - Communities and treatment providers: Authorizes up to $103 million per year in grant authority for 2026–2030 that Congress could appropriate to support local opioid prevention, treatment, and recovery efforts. - Program administrators: Keeps the program under the same statutory framework and does not alter eligibility, funding formulas, matching requirements, or administration. - Congress and the budget process: Removes the prior authorization periods covering 2017–2018 and 2019–2023 and makes clear that separate annual appropriations would still be required for any spending.
