Youth Substance Use Prevention and Awareness Act

This bill adds a new allowed use to an existing federal grant program under the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968. Grant money could be used to develop, carry out, or expand research-based public service announcement campaigns aimed at preventing substance use among young people. These campaigns could include television, radio, print, outdoor, and digital ads, as well as contests asking youth to submit their own announcements. The Attorney General would have to publish a yearly report on these grants, including the research used, any regional messaging, and an evaluation of each campaign's success.
