The bill S. 2918 aims to reauthorize a program focused on surveillance and education related to infections linked to illicit drug use and other risk factors. Specifically, it amends Section 317N(d) of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 247b-15(d)) to extend the program's authorization.
The key change is the extension of the program's funding and operation by striking ``2019 through 2023'' and inserting ``2024 through 2028''. This means the program, which monitors and educates about infections associated with drug use, would continue for an additional five years.
