CAREER Act of 2023
This bill amends a federal grant program to fund addiction recovery and workforce initiatives, targeting states with high overdose deaths, unemployment, and low labor force participation compared to national averages. It establishes specific metrics - such as overdose death rates exceeding the national average, unemployment rates above the national average, and labor force participation below the national average - to determine grant funding levels. The bill also allows grant funds to cover transportation for individuals accessing job training, treatment, or recovery services. Annual funding increases from $5 million to $12 million per year for fiscal years 2024-2028.
