Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would let the U.S. Attorney General, through the Bureau of Justice Assistance, give three kinds of grants related to fentanyl. State and local police agencies could get grants to fight the illegal sale of drugs on social media, including arrests and education for schools, clinicians, parents and the public. Nonprofit groups could get grants of up to $50,000 for public awareness campaigns about fentanyl, but not to buy harm reduction supplies other than naloxone. Police agencies could also get grants for fentanyl testing and detection equipment, naloxone, and training. The bill sets aside $10 million, $3 million and $2 million from existing grant funds for these three programs.
