Lets communities use grant money for youth drug prevention ads
This bill would let local groups use federal grant money to create public service announcements that help prevent young people from using drugs. It would grow an existing grant program. This program would then specifically pay for these campaigns, which could include TV ads, radio spots, and even contests for young people to make ads. The goal is to reach young people with messages that fit their age about drug use.
Currently, federal grants under the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 do not specifically allow funding for public service campaigns aimed at preventing youth substance use. If this bill passes, these grants would be expanded to cover such campaigns, and the Attorney General would be required to report annually on how these funds are used and their effectiveness.
