The Campus Prevention and Recovery Services for Students Act of 2024 updates federal requirements for colleges and universities to address alcohol and substance misuse among students and employees. The bill requires institutions to adopt evidence-based or evidence-informed prevention programs and expands the types of services schools must offer, including counseling, treatment, recovery support, and reentry assistance for students with substance use disorders. It also establishes an interagency partnership between the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services to develop best practices and guidance for these programs, with the federal agencies required to issue recommendations within one year of the law's enactment. The legislation authorizes $15 million annually for fiscal years 2025 through 2030 to support grants and contracts for colleges implementing these prevention and recovery services. Most requirements will take effect two years after the bill is enacted, giving institutions time to develop and implement compliant programs.
