RECONNECTIONS Act of 2023

This bill updates opioid prevention funding by specifically naming the fentanyl crisis in grant program language and increases annual funding. It amends the Public Health Service Act to include "such as the fentanyl crisis" when describing eligible public health crises for prevention grants, and raises authorized funding from $496 million (2019-2023) to $505.579 million annually (2024-2028). The changes directly affect federal opioid prevention grant programs administered by health agencies, ensuring funding aligns with current overdose challenges. The bill focuses on maintaining and expanding existing prevention efforts through updated language and increased financial support.
