This bill amends federal law to make area career and technical education (CTE) schools eligible for mental health and substance use disorder service grants previously available only to colleges and universities. The legislation expands the definition of institutions that can receive federal funding under existing mental health grant programs to include CTE schools—which provide job training and vocational education to high school and adult students. The change applies to Section 520E–2 of the Public Health Service Act, meaning CTE schools can now compete for the same grants that help higher education institutions provide counseling, crisis intervention, and substance abuse treatment services to their students. The bill was introduced in September 2025 and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. No new funding amounts or implementation timeline are specified in the legislation; rather, it reallocates eligibility for existing grant programs to include CTE schools.
