Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Justice Grant Reauthorization Act

Summary#

This bill changes one section of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to update the reauthorization schedule for the Department of Justices Comprehensive Opioid Abuse Grant Program. It removes language that referenced $103,000,000 for fiscal years 2017 and 2018 and replaces the covered years "2019 through 2023" with "2026 through 2030."
