Last updated Sep 22, 2026|Official source

Summary

The National Methamphetamine Information Clearinghouse must collect and share information about law enforcement, treatment, prevention, environmental, social service, and other programs tied to methamphetamine production, use, or effects, and about grants for those programs. The Clearinghouse must run a toll-free number and a searchable website that gives info on short- and long-term effects, treatment and prevention programs (including programs for drug-endangered children), and grant sources. Qualified groups can submit items to post. A law-enforcement-only section will hold sensitive strategies and training; everything else is public. Once the new website works, no more money can be spent on methresources.gov after 30 days. The Council must review submissions within 30 days and, within 45 days, either post them or tell the submitter why changes are needed.
