Requires federal funding to be made available to Governor's Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse to support Alliance to Prevent Alcoholism and Drug Abuse if needed to offset unanticipated decrease in dedicated revenues.

This bill (S 272) ensures that if state funds dedicated to support the Alliance to Prevent Alcoholism and Drug Abuse (a network of community coalitions) fall short during fiscal years 2022-2023, the Governor must use federal pandemic relief funds (like CARES Act or American Rescue Plan funds) to cover the shortfall. It directly affects the Alliance’s ability to maintain its community-based programs, including school initiatives, treatment interventions, and public awareness campaigns. The bill does not create new funding but redirects existing federal pandemic assistance to stabilize the Alliance’s operations when state revenue declines unexpectedly.
