Grant Program Act of 2010''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds that--
            (1) methamphetamine is a leading drug threat to the United 
        States;
            (2) crime related to methamphetamine abuse continues to 
        increase, as reported by county sheriffs;
            (3) law enforcement reporting indicates that 
        methamphetamine users commonly engage in identity theft to 
        acquire personal information of another person, which the 
        methamphetamine users either sell or exchange for 
        methamphetamine;
            (4) the prevalence of identity theft is rising in many 
        areas where rates of methamphetamine distribution and abuse are 
        high or increasing;
            (5) methamphetamine laboratories pose a dangerous threat in 
        terms of toxicity, severe environmental and property damage, 
        violence, and public safety;
            (6) methamphetamine use places an excessive burden on law 
        enforcement and local government resources;
            (7) 24 percent of teens nationally report it would be easy 
        or somewhat easy to obtain methamphetamine;
            (8) 33 percent of teens believe there is only slight or no 
        risk to trying methamphetamines once or twice;
            (9) 16 percent of teens have a friend or a family member 
        that has used methamphetamines or been treated for 
        methamphetamine abuse;
            (10) the annual economic burden of methamphetamine use in 
        the United States is estimated at between $16,200,000,000 and 
        $48,300,000,000 annually;
            (11) methamphetamine creates and increases government and 
        individual expenditures on treatment, healthcare, and foster 
        care services, as well as methamphetamine-related unemployment, 
        child neglect or abuse, and other social issues;
            (12) the estimated annual cost of methamphetamine-related 
        crime and criminal justice expenditures in the United States is 
        $4,200,000,000; and
            (13) there are currently no particular pharmacological 
        treatments for dependence on methamphetamine.
    (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this Act to provide adequate 
resources for the Department of Justice to implement a methamphetamine 
prevention campaign in States with a critical methamphetamine problem, 
that will incorporate a broad range of community outreach programs to 
mobilize communities to assist in methamphetamine awareness and 
prevention activities that educate youth on the risks and consequences 
of methamphetamine use.
