This bill, titled the "Gambling Addiction Recovery, Investment, and Treatment Act," aims to combat gambling addiction through federal grants and research. It authorizes the Assistant Secretary for Mental Health and Substance Use to provide formula grants to states , with allocation ratios mirroring those for substance abuse block grants, to support programs addressing gambling addiction. Additionally, the Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse is empowered to award grants specifically for research on gambling addiction . The legislation mandates a report from the Secretary of Health and Human Services within three years to assess the effectiveness of these programs and activities. Funding is authorized for fiscal years 2025 through 2034, with specific percentages of estimated federal taxes on certain gambling activities dedicated to state grants and research initiatives.
