This part changes an older law about drug programs for young people. Groups of school districts can now apply. All secondary schools count, not just high schools. An application must include a plan to keep going after the grant ends. New money amounts are set year by year.

What the document says
“by inserting ``, or a consortium of local educational agencies,'' after ``a local educational agency''”
The section amends section 7102(c)(2)(A)(i) of the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act so that a consortium of local educational agencies, and not only a single agency, falls within the term.
What the document actually says
“by inserting ``, or a consortium of local educational agencies,'' after ``a local educational agency''”
That sentence, in plain words
Words are added to an older law. They let a group of school districts count. Before, only one district at a time was named.
What this is about
A local school district is one such agency. A consortium is several of them acting as one. Small districts often team up to apply.

What the document says
“by striking ``high schools'' and inserting ``secondary schools''”
The section replaces the term high schools with secondary schools, and adds a definition drawing the meaning of secondary school from section 8101 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965.
What the document actually says
“by striking ``high schools'' and inserting ``secondary schools''”
That sentence, in plain words
Two words are taken out. Two others go in. High schools becomes secondary schools.
What this is about
Secondary school is a wider term than high school. An older law says what it means. That meaning now applies here.

What the document says
“a plan to sustain the activities carried out under the grant program, after the grant program has ended”
The section adds a clause to the application requirements in section 7102(c)(6)(A) of the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act, requiring a plan to sustain the funded activities after the grant program has ended.
What the document actually says
“a plan to sustain the activities carried out under the grant program, after the grant program has ended”
That sentence, in plain words
An application must include one more thing. It is a plan to keep the work going. That plan covers the time after the money stops.
What this is about
Grants run out. Without a plan, the work often stops with the money. The law now asks applicants to think that far ahead.

What the document says
“To carry out this subsection, there are authorized to be appropriated-- ``(A) $10,000,000 for fiscal year 2026; ``(B) $12,000,000 for fiscal year 2027; ``(C) $13,000,000 for fiscal year 2028; ``(D) $14,000,000 for fiscal year 2029; and ``(E) $15,000,000 for fiscal year 2030.''.”
The section rewrites paragraph (9) of section 7102(c) of the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act, setting a separate ceiling for each fiscal year from 2026 through 2030. A related change moves a year in paragraph (8) from 2022 to 2028.
What the document actually says
“To carry out this subsection, there are authorized to be appropriated-- ``(A) $10,000,000 for fiscal year 2026; ``(B) $12,000,000 for fiscal year 2027; ``(C) $13,000,000 for fiscal year 2028; ``(D) $14,000,000 for fiscal year 2029; and ``(E) $15,000,000 for fiscal year 2030.''.”
That sentence, in plain words
The top amount is set one year at a time. It starts at $10,000,000 in 2026. It climbs each year to $15,000,000 in 2030.
What this is about
Setting the amount year by year lets it rise on a schedule. It is still a ceiling. Congress must vote the money each year.

What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out
Each change that alters who may apply, what an application must contain, or how much money is set: the consortium of local educational agencies, the shift from high schools to secondary schools, the new definition drawn in, the sustainability plan, the moved deadline year, and the year by year spending ceilings.
Purely mechanical amendments. Capitalizing Tribe and Tribal, redesignating a subparagraph, changing a semicolon, and striking the words and abuse are recorded only where they change what somebody must do.
The section works by amending section 7102(c) of the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act, which is not indexed here. It also draws definitions from the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, neither of which is indexed here.
