S-3006 : Still Just a Bill


The "Youth Prevention and Recovery Reauthorization Act of 2025" (S. 3006) proposes to amend the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act to reauthorize and modify the youth prevention and recovery initiative.

Key provisions of this bill include:

  • Expanded Eligibility: The initiative would broaden eligibility for grants to include consortia of local educational agencies and expand the focus from "high schools" to all "secondary schools."
  • Refined Definitions and Terminology:
    • It establishes specific definitions for "Indian Tribe" and "Tribal organization" by referencing the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act.
    • A new definition for "secondary school" is added, referencing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965.
    • The bill updates terminology by replacing "peer mentoring" with "peer-to-peer support" and by generally removing "and abuse" when describing substance issues, focusing instead on "substance misuse" and "substance use prevention."
    • Capitalization for "Indian Tribe" and "Tribal" is standardized throughout the relevant section.
  • Focus on At-Risk Populations: The purpose of the grants is clarified to target specific populations at increased risk for substance misuse.
  • Sustainability Plan Requirement: Grant applicants will be required to submit a plan detailing how the funded activities will be sustained after the grant period concludes.
  • Program Reauthorization: The initiative is reauthorized until fiscal year 2028, extending its duration from its previous authorization through 2022.
  • Authorization of Appropriations: The bill authorizes specific funding levels for the program:
    • $10,000,000 for fiscal year 2026
    • $12,000,000 for fiscal year 2027
    • $13,000,000 for fiscal year 2028
    • $14,000,000 for fiscal year 2029
    • $15,000,000 for fiscal year 2030
