Gambling Addiction Recovery, Investment, and Treatment Act
The Gambling Addiction Recovery, Investment, and Treatment Act establishes federal grants to help states address gambling addiction and funds research on the issue. States will receive grants based on the same allocation method used for existing substance abuse prevention and treatment programs, with unclaimed funds redistributed to applying states. The bill authorizes funding from 37.5% of annual gambling tax revenue for state programs and 12.5% for research through the National Institute on Drug Abuse, covering fiscal years 2025-2034. It requires a congressional report on program effectiveness within three years of enactment.
