Sober Act of 2024
HR 9390, the Sober Act of 2024, creates a federal grant program to fund state, local, and tribal 24/7 sobriety programs. These programs require individuals with substance use disorders (often linked to alcohol-related offenses) to abstain from alcohol/drugs, undergo regular testing (twice daily or via continuous monitoring), and face immediate sanctions for violations like jail time or community service. The bill authorizes $10 million annually from 2025-2029 to cover up to 80% of program costs, with recipients required to report on participation, testing outcomes, and program expenses. It aims to expand access to structured sobriety support as a complement to existing measures like ignition interlock devices for DUI offenders.
