The bill would award state grants and requires services funded through the grant to be evidence-based, including medication-assisted treatment.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The introduced bill directly matches the commitment to use grant funding for evidence-based opioid treatment and MAT, but the text is introduced legislation, not proof of enacted delivery.

Foster introduced H.R. 9675 in the 119th Congress to create state grant funding for evidence-based opioid treatment services, including medication-assisted treatment, which directly matches the promise. However, the official record shows only introduction and referral to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on July 14, 2026, with no enactment or implemented grant expansion as of August 14, 2026. This is a serious same-term legislative attempt but not a delivered outcome.
