Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
Creates a SAMHSA-administered grant program to improve mental health and substance use outcomes for LGBTQ+ youth. Authorizes $20 million per year for FY2026–2030 for services, crisis care, cultural competency training, school integration, bullying prevention, data collection, patient navigators, and family acceptance resources.
Liberal emphasizes conversion-therapy ban and targeted supports; conservatives emphasize federal overreach and parental/religious rights.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill clearly creates a new substantive program and supporting reporting/survey requirements, with an explicit funding authorization and several thoughtful statutory protections (e.g., prohibition and definition of conversion therapy; confidentiality provisions).

Authorizes $20 million per year for FY2026–2030 for services, crisis care, cultural competency training, school integration, bullying prevention, data collection, patient navigators, and family acceptance resources.
Prohibits grant funds from being used for conversion therapy (defines conversion therapy), requires updating relevant SAMHSA reports, mandates a federal survey with strong confidentiality protections, and orders a report on foster-care and social-services youth.
Modest, health-focused spending improves prospects, but politically charged subject matter and school guidance elements raise opposition risks.

Likely strongly supportive.
The bill directs federal resources to a population with documented mental-health disparities, bans conversion therapy in funded programs, and improves data collection and family-support programming.
Generally favorable but cautious.
The bill targets clear gaps in data and services, yet raises normal concerns about costs, administrative complexity, federal-state roles, and legal clarity around the conversion therapy definition.
Likely opposed or skeptical.
Concerns will focus on expansion of federal programs tied to sexual orientation and gender identity, parental and religious rights, and federal influence in schools.
