CARE Act reintroduced: Would allocate 125 billion to states over 10 years

Last month, both houses of Congress reintroduced the Comprehensive Addiction Resources Emergency (CARE) Act. Led by Senators Elizabeth Warren (D‐Mass. ) and Tammy Baldwin (D‐Wisc. ), and Representatives Jamie Raskin (D‐Md. ), Ann Kuster (D‐N. H. ), David Trone (D‐Md. ), and Brittany Pettersen (D‐Colo. ), 86 lawmakers signed on to reintroduce this legislation which has been rightly called the “most ambitious” ever introduced to confront the substance use disorder (SUD) epidemic. It would include almost 1 billion per year directly to tribal governments and organizations.
