Holding

H.R. 9675 authorizes the Assistant Secretary for Mental Health and Substance Use to distribute grants to States for expanding opioid treatment services. Scored under the 85/15 legal-text weighting, it serves public safety and the sanctity of life (Articles XVIII, V) but expands federal spending and administration (Articles X, XII). It imposes no new tax, so no Automatic Fail is triggered. Tier 1 53, Tier 2 88; final 58 — Mixed.
