What’s in it
AI summary The Iowa Department of Health and Human Services will start a grant program to help nonprofit organizations provide substance use treatment that focuses on families. To get this money, a nonprofit must partner with a local government that agrees to match the state's funding. The state will use $2 million from opioid settlement funds to pay for these grants.1
Read the official explanation
This bill requires the department of health and human services (HHS) to create a family-focused substance use disorder treatment and programming grant program to provide grants to nonprofit organizations that provide such treatment and programming. The department shall adopt administrative rules to administer the program. To be eligible for a grant, a nonprofit organization shall secure the commitment of a local government to provide a 2:1 match of local funds to state funds for the grant. A local government that receives opioid settlement funds directly as a result of a national settlement may use the funds as the match of state funds for a grant. The bill defines the terms “family-focused substance use disorder treatment and programming” and “local government” for the purposes of the bill.51 to HHS for FY 2023-2024 to be used for the family-focused substance use disorder treatment and programming grant program. Moneys appropriated that remain unencumbered or unobligated at the close of the fiscal year shall not revert but shall remain available for expenditure for the purposes designated until the close of the succeeding fiscal year.
