This part changes an older law about training first responders. The training was tied to opioids. That word is taken out, so it covers more drugs. The rule about which drugs count is widened too. The top amount of money goes up.
The document says “is amended”Who acts: CongressHow: statuteSec. 106 in the PDF
What the document says
“by striking ``approved or cleared'' each place it appears and inserting ``approved, cleared, or otherwise legally marketed''”
The section amends section 546 of the Public Health Service Act, replacing the phrase approved or cleared with approved, cleared, or otherwise legally marketed everywhere it appears in subsections (a), (c), (d) and (f).
What the document actually says
“by striking ``approved or cleared'' each place it appears and inserting ``approved, cleared, or otherwise legally marketed''”
That sentence, in plain words
Two words are taken out everywhere they show up. Longer words are put in. The new words also cover drugs sold in other lawful ways.
What this is about
A drug can reach the market by more than one path. The old words named two paths. The new words leave room for the rest.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

What the document says
“by striking ``opioid'' each place it appears”
The section strikes the word opioid where it appears in subsections (a), (c) and (d) of section 546 of the Public Health Service Act, and makes matching changes in subsection (f), where the phrase opioid and heroin becomes opioid, heroin, and other drug and opioid overdose becomes overdose.
What the document actually says
“by striking ``opioid'' each place it appears”
That sentence, in plain words
The word opioid is taken out everywhere it shows up. Nothing goes in its place.
What this is about
Taking out that one word widens what the training covers. It is no longer only about one kind of drug.

What the document says
“in subsection (h), by striking ``$36,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2019 through 2023'' and inserting ``$57,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2026 through 2030''.”
The section amends section 546(h) of the Public Health Service Act, replacing the ceiling of $36,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2019 through 2023 with $57,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2026 through 2030.

That sentence, in plain words
The old top amount was $36,000,000 a year. The new top amount is $57,000,000 a year. It runs from 2026 through 2030.
What this is about
Congress sets a ceiling here, not a payment. The money still has to be voted on later.

What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out
Each change that alters what somebody must do: the widening of the drug wording, the removal of the word opioid so the program reaches other overdoses, and the new spending ceiling.
Purely mechanical amendments. Changing lower case tribes to capitalized Tribes is a style change and is not recorded as a separate item.
The section works by amending section 546 of the Public Health Service Act, which is not indexed here, so nothing is recorded about what that program requires beyond the words this law inserts.
