A bill to reauthorize the program of surveillance and education regarding infections associated with illicit drug use and other risk factors.

This bill (S 2918) extends the funding period for an existing public health program focused on tracking and educating about infections linked to illicit drug use and related risk factors. It amends the Public Health Service Act to change the program's authorization from 2019-2023 to 2024-2028, ensuring continued operation without altering the program's core activities. The bill directly affects the federal program itself, maintaining its current surveillance and education efforts. No new policies or changes to program scope are introduced - only a renewal of its legal authorization period.
