This bill seeks to broaden the scope of entities eligible for federal mental health and substance use disorder service grants under the Public Health Service Act. It achieves this by amending Section 520E-2, which previously limited these grants to institutions of higher education. The legislation replaces the term "institution of higher education" with "covered institution" throughout the relevant sections. A new definition for "covered institution" is introduced, explicitly including both area career and technical education schools and traditional institutions of higher education . This expansion ensures that career and technical education students can also benefit from these crucial mental health and substance use disorder services.
