This bill reauthorizes a federal youth prevention and recovery program by extending its funding authorization period. Specifically, it amends the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act to continue the Youth Prevention and Recovery Initiative with federal support running from 2024 through 2028, shifting from the previous authorization period that ended in 2023. The program focuses on preventing substance abuse and supporting recovery efforts for young people. The legislation was introduced by Senators Peters and Capito and referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. The bill essentially keeps an existing youth-focused substance abuse prevention program operating at the federal level without changes to the program itself, only extending its authorized funding timeline by five years.
