CURE Act

The Clarity for Opioid-Use Reduction and Expenditures Act (CURE Act) is a bill introduced to amend the 21st Century Cures Act to boost accountability, oversight, and measurable impact of opioid use disorder (OUD) grants. It requires the federal government to operate a standardized data-collection system for states receiving these grants, mandating quarterly reporting on how funds are spent, who ultimately receives subgrants, and how many individuals are served. The bill also directs the use of existing federal grant-tracking systems to minimize duplicative reporting and expands congressional reporting to include detailed information on grant recipients and subrecipients and the amounts funded. The changes would take effect 180 days after enactment. Overall, the bill aims to improve transparency and oversight of OUD grant programs while linking funding to more explicit reporting of outcomes and recipients.
