Saving America’s Future by Educating Kids Act of 2023

HR 3521, the "Saving America’s Future by Educating Kids Act of 2023," requires the U.S. Secretary of Education to develop and distribute an evidence-based curriculum for K-12 students on the dangers of opioids, vaping, synthetic drugs, and other substances. This curriculum must be created in collaboration with federal health agencies like SAMHSA, CDC, and NIH, and reviewed every two years. The bill also establishes a competitive grant program to fund states - prioritizing those with high drug overdose death rates - to implement this curriculum in schools, with grantees required to submit annual progress reports. Funding is authorized for fiscal years 2024 through 2033 to support these efforts.
