SUPPORT Act passes both houses
The Senate passed a reauthorization of the SUPPORT Act, which covers several programs related to substance use disorder treatment and support for the behavioral health workforce. The bill now awaits the president's signature.
So far, it's looking like we will see a government shutdown before we see agreement on funding. Senate Democrats refused to pass the House Republicans' continuing resolution (CR) that would keep the government afloat for 7 weeks beyond the end of September. They instead introduced a counterproposal that would also repeal many of the pieces of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that gutted Medicaid funding, extend Affordable Care Act premium tax credits, and extend the CCBHC demonstration program.
