Key federal appropriations bills moving through Congress
Bills that set the levels of funding for the federal government’s Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), National Institute on Drug Abuse and National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism continue to move through Congress.
The full House and Senate Appropriations committees have considered and approved their respective versions of the FY 2008 bill funding the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services (HHS), Education and Related Agencies – which includes the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). The next steps will be votes on the floors of the Senate and House and then a conference committee, where differences between the two bills will be ironed out. Here’s a chart that tracks Congressional deliberations on funding for these key agencies.
