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.
