The Campus Prevention and Recovery Services for Students Act of 2026 aims to enhance the prevention of alcohol and substance misuse among students in higher education. The primary goal is to create a safer campus environment by implementing evidence-based programs that address these issues more effectively. Key provisions of the Act include several updates to the existing Higher Education Act of 1965. It changes the terminology from "drug and alcohol abuse prevention" to "alcohol and substance misuse," reflecting a broader approach to substance use.
