SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Meth Project Prevention Campaign 
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 Office of Community Oriented 
Policing Services to implement the Meth Project Prevention Campaign in 
States with a critical methamphetamine problem, that will incorporate a 
broad range of community outreach programs by the Meth Project 
personnel and volunteers that mobilize communities to assist in 
methamphetamine awareness and prevention activities that educate youth 
on the risks and consequences of methamphetamine use.
