Statement of the Sheriff on signing of the 21st Century Cures Act

I want to thank President Obama, Congressional leaders and those who worked to ensure the passage of the 21st Century Cures Act.  This legislation will have a lasting impact on the lives of millions of Americans, especially those suffering from substance use disorders.  The $1 billion in federal funding will provide a much needed life line for community-based treatment and prevention programs, saving lives and families.
