To amend the Public Health Service Act to require additional information in State plans for Substance Use Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Services block grants.

# HR 5630 Summary **What the Bill Would Do** HR 5630 would require states to include additional information and details in their plans when applying for federal block grant funding related to substance use prevention, treatment, and recovery services. Block grants are pools of federal money that states receive and can use with some flexibility to address public health priorities. This bill would essentially add new reporting or planning requirements to what states must submit to qualify for or maintain these grants. **Who It Affects** This bill primarily affects state health departments and officials who manage substance abuse programs, as well as treatment providers and prevention organizations that rely on this federal funding.

Indirectly, it could impact individuals struggling with substance use disorders by potentially influencing how states allocate and implement their treatment and prevention programs. **Current Status** HR 5630 was introduced by Representative Erin Houchin (R-IN) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The specific details about what additional information would be required are not included in this summary, so the full bill text would need to be reviewed for those details.
