This bill would amend the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 by adding a new allowed use for grant funds under section 3021(a). The new use would let grant recipients provide training and resources for first responders on the use of containment devices to prevent secondary exposure to fentanyl and other potentially lethal substances, and buy those containment devices for first responder use. The bill text itself does not create a new grant program or appropriate new money; it adds this purpose to the list of allowed uses for existing grants.
If the bill becomes law, agencies that receive grants under section 3021(a) could use that grant money to train first responders and to purchase containment devices that aim to reduce the risk of secondary exposure to fentanyl and similar substances. First responders and the agencies that serve them are the main groups affected. The bill does not require training or purchases; it permits grant funds to be used for those purposes.
The bill does not include new appropriations or specific cost estimates. It authorizes an additional allowable use of existing grant amounts under section 3021(a). No publicly available information on total expected costs or budgetary impacts is included in the bill text or metadata.
