It would start for individuals released on or after the bill becomes law.

This bill would create a new pilot program within the Department of Education. This program would offer grants of up to $200,000 to local nonprofit and nongovernmental groups.

This bill would create a new program at the National Science Foundation. It would give competitive grants to colleges and nonprofits that don't usually get a lot of federal research money, as well as historically Black colleges, minority-serving institutions, and Tribal colleges.

This bill, called the Federal Prisons Naloxone Access Act of 2025, would require all federal prisons to keep opioid overdose reversal kits, like Naloxone, in many areas.

This bill would keep the National Science Foundation's program for teaching quantum mechanics running for two more years. It means students and teachers would continue to get training in this complex science, as the program's permission to exist would extend from 2026 to 2028.

Currently, no government report is required on setting up a space resources institute.
