This part changes an older law about jobs for people in recovery. It renames the program and adds job words to the heading. It changes which years of data pick the places that get money. Grants can pay for rides to work or treatment. It also sets a new top amount of money.

What the document says
“in the section heading, by inserting ``; treatment, recovery, and workforce support grants'' after ``career act''”
The section adds words to the heading of section 7183 of the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act, so that it reads CAREER Act; treatment, recovery, and workforce support grants. Matching changes are made to that Act's table of contents.
What the document actually says
“in the section heading, by inserting ``; treatment, recovery, and workforce support grants'' after ``career act''”
That sentence, in plain words
Words are added to the title of an older section. The new words name the grants it gives.
What this is about
A heading is a label on a section. Changing it does not change a rule. It makes the section easier to find.

What the document says
“The highest age-adjusted average rates of drug overdose deaths for calendar years 2018 through 2022 based on data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, including, if necessary, provisional data for calendar year 2022.”
The section rewrites paragraph (2) of section 7183(c) of the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act. The rewritten paragraph names three measures over calendar years 2018 through 2022: the highest overdose death rates, the highest unemployment rates, and the lowest labor force participation rates.
What the document actually says
“The highest age-adjusted average rates of drug overdose deaths for calendar years 2018 through 2022 based on data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, including, if necessary, provisional data for calendar year 2022.”
That sentence, in plain words
Places are picked using three sets of numbers. One is drug deaths. The years counted are 2018 through 2022.
What this is about
The other two are about work. One is how many people are out of a job. The other is how many are looking for work at all.

The document says “can”Who acts: grant recipients under section 7183How: statuteSec. 305 in the PDF
What the document says
“An entity receiving a grant under this section may use not more than 5 percent of the funds for providing transportation for individuals to participate in an activity supported by a grant under this section”
The section adds paragraph (2) to section 7183(g) of the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act, allowing up to 5 percent of a grant to pay for transportation to or from a place of work, a place where the person gets job training, or a place where the person gets services tied to treatment or recovery.
What the document actually says
“An entity receiving a grant under this section may use not more than 5 percent of the funds for providing transportation for individuals to participate in an activity supported by a grant under this section”
That sentence, in plain words
A group can spend up to 5 cents of every dollar on rides. The rides help people take part in the program.
What this is about
The law names where the rides may go. A job counts. Job training counts. So does a place that treats addiction.

The document says “may not”Who acts: Secretary of Health and Human ServicesHow: statuteSec. 305 in the PDF
What the document says
“The Secretary may not require an entity to, or give priority to an entity that plans to, use the funds of a grant under this section for activities that are not specified in this subsection.”
The section adds paragraph (3) to section 7183(g) of the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act, barring the Secretary from requiring, or giving preference for, uses of the money that the subsection does not list.
What the document actually says
“The Secretary may not require an entity to, or give priority to an entity that plans to, use the funds of a grant under this section for activities that are not specified in this subsection.”
That sentence, in plain words
The Secretary cannot make a group spend money on other things. The Secretary cannot favor a group that plans to, either. Only the uses on the list count.
What this is about
Agencies often steer grants by favoring some plans. This line closes that path. The list in the law is the whole list.

“which shall include employment and earnings outcomes described in subclauses (I) and (III) of section 116(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (29 U.S.C. 3141(b)(2)(A)(i)) with respect to the participation of such individuals with a substance use disorder in programs and activities funded by the grant under this section”
The section amends section 7183(i)(2) of the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act to require reporting of employment and earnings outcomes, drawn from two named subclauses of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, for people with a substance use disorder taking part in the funded work.
What the document actually says
“which shall include employment and earnings outcomes described in subclauses (I) and (III) of section 116(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (29 U.S.C. 3141(b)(2)(A)(i)) with respect to the participation of such individuals with a substance use disorder in programs and activities funded by the grant under this section”
That sentence, in plain words
The reports must now cover jobs and pay. The measures come from another law. They apply to people in the program.
What this is about
Using measures from another law keeps the numbers alike. The same yardstick is used across job programs. That older law is not indexed here.

What the document says
“in subsection (a), by striking ``through 2023'' and inserting ``through 2030''”
The section amends section 8071 of the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act, moving the pilot program's run of years to 2030, restarting its 60 day deadline from the enactment of this Act, and replacing the calendar years used to pick recipients with 2018 through 2022.
What the document actually says
“in subsection (a), by striking ``through 2023'' and inserting ``through 2030''”
That sentence, in plain words
Two words are taken out. Two go in. The end year moves from 2023 to 2030.
What this is about
This is a pilot program for recovery housing. Recovery housing is a place to live while getting well. The pilot now runs seven more years.

The section amends section 7183(k) of the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act, replacing the ceiling of $5,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2019 through 2023 with $12,000,000 for each of fiscal years 2026 through 2030.
What the document actually says

That sentence, in plain words
The old top amount was $5,000,000 a year. The new top amount is $12,000,000 a year. It runs from 2026 through 2030.
What this is about
A ceiling is the most that can be spent. Congress must still vote the money each year.

Cite the document when the claim is about what the document says. Cite this page when the indexing, the wording or the record of what has happened is what is being relied on.
What This Page Covers, and What It Leaves Out
Each change that alters what somebody must do, who is picked, or how much money is set: the new section heading, the rewritten rates that select recipients, the transportation allowance, the limit on the Secretary, the added outcome measures, the extended recovery housing pilot, and the new spending ceiling.
Purely mechanical amendments. Redesignating paragraphs as subparagraphs, adjusting margins, inserting the word each, and the clerical fixes to the older Act's own table of contents are bookkeeping and are recorded in summary rather than item by item.
The section works by amending section 7183 and section 8071 of the SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act, and refers to section 116(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. None of those is indexed here, so nothing is recorded about the programs beyond the words this law inserts.
