This bill would create a federal grant program, run by the Justice Department's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS), to fund efforts to locate, investigate, and stop illegal opioid distribution. States, local governments, Indian Tribes, state law enforcement agencies, multi-jurisdictional task forces, and regional consortia could apply. Grant money could pay for hiring and training officers, equipment, technology, and overtime, and grants would last 1 to 3 years. At least 20 percent of funds would be reserved for direct grants to Tribes and multi-jurisdictional task forces, and the bill authorizes $70 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031.
