FOSTER Act Furthering Opioid Services, Training, and Education...
To amend the 21st Century Cures Act to support State and local agencies with responsibility for children services in their response to the opioid abuse crisis, and for other purposes.
This bill, HB6283, aims to support state and local agencies involved in child services by enhancing their ability to respond to the opioid abuse crisis. It is an amendment to the 21st Century Cures Act. The bill focuses on providing more resources and training to these agencies to better handle the challenges posed by opioid addiction, especially concerning children and families.
The bill would primarily affect state and local agencies that deal with child services, helping them improve their response to opioid abuse. This could lead to better support for families affected by addiction, potentially improving outcomes for children and communities. By providing additional training and resources, the bill seeks to strengthen the frontline response to the opioid crisis.
HB6283 was introduced on November 21, 2025, and has been referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce for further review. This marks the initial step in the legislative process, where the bill will be examined, potentially amended, and considered for further action by the House.
